January 8, 2014: all the private schools in the Kanchanpur district have gone on holidays for the next ten days due to severe cold. All private and boarding schools at the district are closed from today, according to the RSS news on ‘gorkhapatraonline.com’.
Private and Boarding School Organization of Nepal (PABSON) and National Private and Boarding School Association of Nepal (N-PABSAN) decided to have the winter break after the cold wave reaching the district. The schools will start the session on January 17, said vice president of Kanchanpur PABSON Basanta Raj Pandeya.
