Punjab Schools Holidays: Winter holidays are over in Punjab, cold wave continues; will the winter vacation be extended?

Punjab Schools Holidays: North India is in the grip of a cold wave these days. Cold is at its peak in states like Delhi, UP, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab. Meanwhile, the Punjab government had announced the closure of schools from 24 December 2024 to 31 December 2024, but in view of the increasing cold, these holidays were extended till 7 January 2025.

The cold season still continues.

The minimum temperature in Punjab remains at 5 degrees Celsius or below. The temperature in districts like Amritsar, Faridkot, Bathinda, Ludhiana, and Pathankot is well below normal. The Meteorological Department has predicted rain in the coming days, which is likely to increase the cold further. The minimum temperature in Amritsar was 6.5 degrees Celsius, while in Chandigarh it was 11.6 degrees Celsius.
