For the first phase of polling, schools will remain closed on December 10 and 11, as directed by district collectors. The second phase naturally includes December 13 (Second Saturday) and December 14 (Sunday), adding two more holidays. For the third phase, schools will again be closed on December 16 and 17, bringing the total break to six days.
