Students and parents are advised to follow reopening instructions from their respective schools unless a revised order is issued by the education authorities. No official confirmation of any extension has been received. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Dasara holiday extension rumours, which have no official confirmation, are disrupting planning for thousands of families in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on the eve of reopening. The lack of a formal order means students in both states risk attending school on reopening day only to be sent back, or staying home unnecessarily. The next step is for each school to follow its stated schedule unless the respective state education department issues a revised notice. ## Coverage - sakshi.com Leads with the lack of official confirmation, not the rumoured extension This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
