INARUWA, June 1: Three local levels in Sunsari district have decided to close all public schools within the local levels citing a sharp rise in temperature. All public schools in Inaruwa Municipality have been asked to shut for a week from June 1 to 7, said Inaruwa Municipality Mayor Kedar Bhandari. 

This aims to save school children from various problems caused by hot temperature, he said, adding that the classes missed due to the school closure will be compensated by reducing the holiday period allocated for summer vacation. 

Similarly, Bhokraha Narsingh Rural Municipality in the district has also directed community schools to shut for six days from June 1 to 6, and schools in Itahari Sub-metropolitan City have been asked to close for two days on June 1-2. 

The temperature has soared in eastern Terai districts since a few days ago, severely affecting the normal life of people.
