Schools reopen after three-month-long Winter break

SRINAGAR — After remaining closed for three-months for Winter vacations, the private as well as government schools across the Valley reopened on Monday.

Amid rainfall in the Valley, the students were happy to join their classes and meet their friends after three months of break. The students wore new uniforms, having lunch boxes in their hands.

“I feel happy to join my classes again after spending more than two months at home,” a student from Old City while waiting for his school bus at Baba Demb said.

He said that during the period of three months, he missed his teachers, his classmates, friends and his school. “Now, the reopening of school from today has brought happiness,” he said.

The Winter vacations for Primary to Class 8th was scheduled to end on March 02 2018, but was later extended due to the prevailing weather conditions.
