Bhubaneswar:18/4/23: In view of prevailing heatwave condition, Odisha Government has directed closure of all schools and Anganwadi centres for next two days-April 19 and 20.

It was informed by Chief secretary Pradeep Jena. “All Govt, aided and private schools up to Std-12 and all Anganwadi Centres in Odisha shall remain closed on 19th and 20th April due to prevailing heatwave conditions,” Jena tweeted.
