Patna school timings changed: All schools in Patna up to class 8, which had been closed due to the ongoing cold wave, have reopened today, January 20. As per the latest directive issued by Patna’s District Magistrate Chandra Shekhar Singh, these schools will follow revised timings, operating from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm, effective until January 25. The temporary closure, which began on January 5, was prompted by the region’s intense cold conditions, particularly during early mornings and evenings, which were deemed a health risk to students.

Previous closure due to extreme cold
