Schools in Patna are all set to re-open today - January 27 - after the prolonged winter break. The cold weather conditions witnessed in the city had led to imposing the break for the students and now the kids will be attending classes as usual with the revised timing.

Earlier, the District Administration of Patna had issued an order dated January 19 to keep all private and government schools closed till January 25 given the cold weather hurting the health and well-being of children.

As per the revised timings, till January 31, classes may be conducted in schools from 9 in the morning till 3 in the afternoon. However special classes and examinations for preboard and board examinations are not restricted.

The India Meteorological Department has forecasted a high of 22°C and a low of 13°C in Patna today. The Air Quality Index is a bit concerning at 165, but the IMD has forecasted clear skies later in the day and fog or mist in the morning.
