UP Cold Wave: Schools Closed in Varanasi, Other Districts Amidst Dense Fog
- •Varanasi DM ordered schools up to Class 5 closed for Friday due to severe cold and dense fog.
- •Other UP districts like Prayagraj, Lucknow, Kanpur, Meerut also announced closures or revised timings (10 AM - 3 PM).
- •IMD issued 'Yellow' and 'Orange' alerts; dense fog reduces visibility, increasing accident risk.
- •Sambhal district declared holidays for all schools (Nursery to Class 12) on December 26 and 27.
