Due to dense fog, plummeting temperatures, and rising pollution levels, all schools in Gautam Buddha Nagar district will be closed for four days. The closure, from December 29, 2025, to January 1, 2026, applies to all recognized schools, including those affiliated with various educational boards. Classes from nursery to grade 12 are affected by this decision.
The closure aims to protect children from health risks associated with the severe cold, fog, and poor air quality in the region. While students stay home, teachers and administrative staff are required to report to school as usual. The district administration emphasizes strict compliance with the closure order.
Some confusion arose on Monday morning as several private schools did not receive timely notification, leading to some schools opening before being informed. Concerns were raised by parents regarding the delayed announcement, highlighting the challenges faced by students traveling in harsh weather conditions.
Authorities implemented the closure as a precautionary measure to safeguard students amidst the deteriorating weather conditions in Gautam Buddha Nagar and the broader NCR region. The decision reflects a commitment to prioritizing children’s health and safety during challenging environmental circumstances.
