Jaipur: Jaipur District Collector on Tuesday that the private and government schools in Jaipur will reopen for students of classes up to 8^th from Wednesday.

The schools were to reopen from January 1, but keeping in view the cold weather, the administration decided to extend the winter holidays for children studying in classes up to 8^th.

It was decided that the weather conditions will be reviewed on a daily basis and the decision to withdraw the holidays will be taken if the temperature rises.

There was a slight relief from the cold in the city, but cloudy sky continued to create cold wave conditions on Tuesday.

The winter holidays used to end on January 7 till last year. The state government ordered the schools to resume classes on January 7 from this year only.
