As temperatures rise across Bihar, district administrations are closing schools for younger students to protect their health during the ongoing heatwave. In Vaishali district, District Magistrate Mrs. Varsha Singh has ordered the closure of all government and private schools up to Class 8 from May 25 to May 31, 2026. This directive also includes pre-schools and anganwadi centres. Similarly, in Saran district, educational activities for students up to Class 8 are suspended until May 27. Officials stress that children's safety is paramount amid extreme heat conditions. Residents are advised to take precautions against heat-related illnesses, such as heatstroke and dehydration. Health experts recommend staying hydrated, wearing light clothing, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak heat hours. These measures reflect a growing trend among district magistrates in Bihar to close schools during extreme weather, particularly heatwaves. Local administrations are actively monitoring weather forecasts and may implement further actions if conditions do not improve.
