Before, there were rumors posing an extension of winter vacations in Punjab until January 15, 2024, for all classes due to extremely cold weather. But, the latest update has clarified that the extension in winter break is only for nursery and prep class students. The winter break is until January 19, 2024.
However, there will be a ban on schools in Punjab conducting assemblies til January 31, 2024.

Moreover, he also dismissed the rumors of extending winter holidays from class 1 to 10 in Punjab until January 14, 2024.
In the meantime, social media users have voiced criticism on social media platforms regarding the Punjab government’s School Education Department’s decision to reopen the educational institutes on January 10, 2024.
