In Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, rising temperatures and humidity have led to demands for revised school timings to protect students from extreme heat. Jamshedpur (East) MLA Purnima Sahu has written to East Singhbhum deputy commissioner Karn Satyarthi, urging a shift in school assembly and dismissal times. With current temperatures approaching 45 degrees Celsius, Sahu suggested that schools conduct classes in the early morning, allowing students to return home by midday. The Jamshedpur Abhibhavak Sangh, a parents' association, echoed these concerns in a memorandum to Chief Minister Hemant Soren, highlighting the distress caused to children who are dismissed around 1:30 PM, the hottest time of the day. Parents and advocacy groups are calling for school hours to be adjusted to 6:30 AM–11:30 AM to mitigate health risks associated with prolonged exposure to heat. Concerns are heightened as the state meteorological center has issued an orange alert for heatwave conditions in the upcoming week.
