Bhubaneswar: In response to the prevailing intense heatwave conditions gripping Odisha, the timing of classes at schools in Khurda district has been rescheduled to ensure the safety and well-being of students.

Khurda district Collector, Chanchal Rana, took cognizance of the latest report from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) highlighting the prolonged heatwave situation in the state. In light of this, a decision was made to adjust the school timings until further notice.
