Schools up to Class 8 in Noida and other parts of Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Haryana will remain closed until January 15, 2026, due to a severe cold wave and dense fog. The district administration in Gautam Buddh Nagar ordered the closure, citing student safety and health risks. This decision applies to all boards and schools from nursery to Class 8. While some areas have revised timings for older students or opted for online classes, authorities warn of strict action against non-compliant institutions.
