Delhi in grip of cold wave too
There has been freezing cold in Delhi for a few days, in view of which there is now a demand to extend the holidays of private schools. In fact, Brijesh Goyal, chairman of the Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI), has written a letter to Delhi’s Deputy CM and Education Minister Manish Sisodia regarding this matter. In the letter, he has appealed to the Deputy CM to extend the winter vacation in private schools till January 15, just like government schools, in view of the increasing cold in Delhi for the past few days. Winter vacations were announced till January 15 in government schools of Delhi and till January 8 in private schools.
He further wrote in his letter that due to severe cold and fog in Delhi, along with the children, the drivers of buses, cabs and vehicles are also facing inconvenience. He also wrote here to extend the school vacation that he is getting calls from parents of children in large numbers. In such a situation, considering the problems faced by the children and their families, the government should decide to extend the holidays of private schools as well.
