The District Education Officer (DEO) of Ganjam issued a circular on Thursday instructing headmasters of all government and government-aided elementary and secondary schools to adopt normal daytime schedules for classes held from Monday to Saturday.”Keeping in view the current cold and freezing weather conditions and the safety of school-going children, it has been decided to conduct classes on Saturdays in the day shift as per normal school timings until further orders,” the DEO stated in the communiqué.
