      <title>AJK extends winter vacations amid severe cold weather</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330395788/ajk-extends-winter-vacations-amid-severe-cold-weather</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Education Department of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) has announced an extension of winter vacations in schools due to the ongoing severe cold weather in the region.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a notification issued on Tuesday, it was confirmed that all educational institutions will remain closed until January 4, 2025, with a new reopening date set for February 6, instead of the previously planned February 2.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This extension affects both public and private schools across AJK, as the intense cold has created difficulties for students and faculty in commuting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The department emphasized that the decision was made to prioritize the safety and comfort of students.&lt;/p&gt;
