In a recent development from northern India’s Bihar, the state government has mandated that school teachers continue to attend their schools during the traditional summer vacation period.

The incident took place on May 30.

Visuals showed how a female teacher isn’t able to keep her head and crying because of the scorching heat.

Teachers in Bihar, typically use the summer break to recuperate from the long school year and prepare for the upcoming term. However, the new directive requires them to report to work despite soaring temperatures and the potential health risks associated with extreme heat.

The Bihar government has yet to respond to the growing dissent, leaving teachers and their advocates anxiously awaiting further developments.
