Patna district magistrate issued an order on Sunday (April 30) notifying that the school timings in the city will now be revised. This is in view of the “improvement in the weather conditions” at present. Schools will now function in the district from 6:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

The district magistrate's order read, “In view of the improvement in weather conditions at present, the office order Memo-5369/Law, dated 18.04.2023 is hereby amended and academic activities for all classes is prohibited after 11:30 a.m. The school authorities are hereby directed to reschedule their timings… The order as mentioned above will come into force w.e.f. from 01.05.2023."
