All schools in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddh Nagar districts will remain closed on Thursday, 19 December and Friday 20 December, due to cold weather conditions, officials said.

Separate orders to this effect were issued by the administrations of the two adjoining districts on Wednesday evening.

“All government and private schools across Noida and Greater Noida have been directed to remain shut over the next two days due to cold weather,” Gautam Buddh Nagar District Magistrate (DM) B N Singh told PTI.

Cold weather conditions persisted in the region on Wednesday, with the minimum temperature in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad hovering around 10 degrees Celsius.
