The Education Department has declared Sankranthi holidays for all schools in Telangana except missionary schools from January 11 to 17, and instructed all the District Educational Officers to see that both government and private schools adhered to the holiday notification.
The schools will reopen after the vacation on January 18.
The government warned that action would be taken against the managements of any schools which violated the order.
Missionary schools have been exempted from the order since they have already given holidays for Christmas celebrations.
