In an order issued by the Director of School Education, Chandigarh, it has been written that "In view of the continuing inclement weather conditions - to avoid the exposure of children to this extremely cold weather, there will be no classes in physical mode up to Class V in any Government, Government-Aided and Recognised Private Schools of UT Chandigarh on 23rd, 24th and 25th January 2024.
