Somlal Dhiman, Deputy Director of Primary Education, said that previously the state government had scheduled summer vacations from June 1 to 8, and then again from July 12 to August 12 for summer-closing schools.

"The temperature in Una during June often soars to 44-45 degrees Celsius. Teachers' unions have been frequently urging the government to either reschedule the holidays or adjust school timings in view of the intense heat. Therefore, this year, the education department has taken a proactive step to offer full relief to the students during the summer season," Dhiman said.
