In response to a yellow alert from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) indicating extreme heat, Kumar Ashirwad, the district collector of Nagpur, India, has declared a holiday for all schools, colleges, and coaching institutes on Saturday. Temperatures in Nagpur have been consistently exceeding 40°C, prompting parents to voice their frustration over the temporary nature of this decision. Many parents believe that a single day off is inadequate to protect their children's health, especially as the academic session continues. Chetna Joshi, a parent, highlighted the unbearable conditions during school hours, while others suggested that schools should close for the entire summer or adjust their operating hours to avoid peak heat. Despite the holiday for students, school staff are still required to report for duty, raising questions about their safety during such extreme weather conditions. Parents are advocating for more comprehensive measures to ensure the well-being of students in the face of rising temperatures.
