The Srimandir Parikrama Project or the Srimandir Parikrama Prakalpa allows Lord Jagannath’s devotees to participate in the event and plead for devotion to God.
Meanwhile, schools in Delhi have resumed classes on January 15 following an extended winter break due to severe cold weather. All government, government-aided and recognized private schools have commenced classes after remaining shut since January 1. However, school timings have changed.
School students’ winter break was set to conclude on January 6, with classes resuming on January 8. However, due to intense cold waves, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert owing to dense fog, light rainfall, and a dip in temperature and hence the winter break was extended across schools in the national capital.
“Effective from January 15, 2024 (Monday), this directive applies to students across all levels, including Nursery, KG, and Primary classes,” the official notification stated while extending the winter vacation.
According to the Directorate of Education (DoE), schools are not allowed to commence classes before 9 am. Schools have been instructed not to extend their classes beyond 5 pm until the directorate provides further instructions on the same.
