Schools reopen in Patna with changed timing from 9 am

All schools in Patna up to class 8, which were closed due to cold, will reopen from today (January 20), but will function with revised timings between 9 am and 3.30 pm for all classes till January 25, said an order issued by Patna district magistrate (DM) Chandra Shekhar Singh on Sunday.

The DM had earlier prohibited academic activities in all schools up to class 8 from January 5 due to prevalent cold weather and low temperature prevailing in the district, particularly in the morning and evening, posing risk to the health and lives of children.
