Citing the adverse impact of the cold wave conditions on the health of children, Chandrashekhar Singh, Patna DM, extended the earlier order banning all academic activities for up to Class 10.

“The outbreak of cold wave and extreme cold is continuing in the district even at present, due to which there is a possibility of adverse impact on the health and life of the children,” the order read.

"Therefore, I, Dr. Chandrashekhar Singh, District Magistrate, Patna under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, extending the earlier order dated 02.01.2023 I ban educational activities for all classes up to tenth in all government and private schools of Patna district," it added.

The order will be effective from January 9 to January 14.

Dense fog engulfed most parts of Bihar in the early morning hours on Saturday, reducing visibility to less than 100 metres in Purnea. The maximum temperature in the state plunged by four to seven notches below the season’s corresponding normal, making day-to-day activities difficult for people.
