Agartala, Apr 28 (PTI) The Tripura government has decided to extend the holiday in all schools across the state for three more days till May 1 due to the ongoing heatwave, an official said on Sunday.

Earlier, the government declared the closure of all the schools – government, government-aided, and privately managed ones – from April 23 to 28 due to the scorching heat in the northeastern state.

“As the heatwave continues, it has been decided that all schools will remain shut from April 29 to May 1. All the District Education Officers (DEOs) were requested to convey the decision to the schools under their jurisdiction,” the Additional Secretary, Education (School), N C Sharma said.

According to the Meteorological department, the heatwave will continue for the next few days.
