Due to the prevailing heat wave conditions, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has urged the state education minister to announce the onset of summer vacation in schools and colleges from May 2.

She stated that the move would also protect children from chances of contracting COVID-19, if there was a surge in infections in Bengal, as was the case in some other states.

During an administrative review meeting at the state secretariat, she said, “I will urge education minister Bratya Basu to announce May 2 as the date for the onset of summer vacations in schools, colleges and universities. Ask the private schools to implement this, too,”. She also added that her office has received reports of several incidents falling ill due to the scorching heat.
