"After the state government issued notice for extending summer vacation from June 15 to June 26 due to the severe hot and humid conditions, we had decided to go for online classes for 10 days. Considering the health issue of children, we took the decision though the CISCE did not issue any circular for curtailing the summer vacation in West Bengal despite the advisory of the state government.
"But as the heat and humidity lessened a bit, and parents of our children are making constant queries when the schools will open, we have decided to resume on-campus classes from June 20," Dhar said. West Bengal government had issued notification extending summer holiday in schools by 11 days up to June 26 and cited the hot and humid conditions as the compelling reason.
