Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) Kargil has declared an extension of winter vacations for all government and private schools up to March 15, 2025, due to unfavourable weather conditions.¹ This was declared by the Chief Executive Councillor (CEC) of LAHDC Kargil, Dr. Mohd Jaffer Akhoon, who presided over a meeting to assess the prevailing winter conditions and their effects on educational institutions.

To start with, winter holidays were posted as under:
Classes 1st to 8th: December 5, 2024, through March 5, 2025
Classes 9th to 12th: December 15, 2024, to March 5, 2025
