Schools in these states will be closed for some weeks, and students will be able to rest and recharge.

Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh Follow Suit
Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh have also announced summer holidays for schools. The heatwave in both the states has proved to be challenging for students to go to school, and the governments have made a thoughtful decision to grant them a break.
