The Women and Child Development Department has decided to suspend pre-school activities in Anganwadis in the state for a week due to high temperature. There was a safety warning by the Disaster Management Authority in the wake of the heat wave.
The action was taken after the Minister of Health, Women and Child Development, Veena George, issued an instruction in this regard. Other activities of Anganwadis will continue as usual. Supplementary nutrition to be given to children during this period is delivered at home.
