Loreto House, South Point and Indus Valley World School will conduct online classes on Friday. The La Martiniere schools and Sushila Birla Girls School will end classes earlier than usual.
Shuffle in train services
Several local trains will be cancelled and at least 14 express trains diverted or controlled in the Howrah division for over a month from Thursday following a traffic and power block in the Bandel-Shaktigarh section for the construction of a road over-bridge near Hooghly s Adisaptagram. Railway officials said the block will be taken from Thursday till August 24. The cancellation of multiple local trains connecting Bandel and Burdwan with Howrah on alternate days will create trouble for daily commuters.
