In a statement issued here, the Chairman of JKTA, Shah Fayaz, urged the authorities to order a change in the school timings due to the soaring temperatures, with the mercury touching 34 degrees.
“Most schools are concluding at 4 pm in rural areas and 3 pm in urban areas, coinciding with peak heat hours, which could pose significant health risks for students,” he stated.
