The Telangana government has announced that the school timings in the state will be changed from 9 am to 4.45 pm, starting from July 25, 2023. This is due to the heavy rains that have been lashing the state in recent days. The government has said that the change in timings will help to reduce the risk of accidents and other problems caused by the rains.
The new timings will apply to all government and private schools in the state. The government has also said that the timings of other educational institutions, such as colleges and universities, will be reviewed and changed if necessary.
The decision to change the school timings has been welcomed by parents and teachers. They have said that the new timings will be safer for students and will also help to reduce the disruption to the academic calendar.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that heavy rains will continue to lash Telangana in the coming days. The government has advised people to be cautious and to avoid going out unnecessarily.
