Due to severe cold conditions, several state governments announced school holidays on December 12, 2025. Northern parts of India experienced intense cold waves, forcing authorities to take precautionary measures to protect students’ health.
Education department officials stated that early morning temperatures dropped sharply, making it unsafe for children to attend schools. In some regions, schools were closed temporarily, while others shifted to online classes.
The Meteorological Department warned that cold conditions may continue for the next few days. Doctors advised parents to keep children warm and avoid unnecessary outdoor activities. Parents welcomed the decision, saying student safety should always be the top priority.
