But some schools in the Patiala district openly flouted the government orders and asked their teaching staff to come to school on the first day of the holiday, disobeying the government orders. One such school is Patiala’s renowned school DAV Public School, Bhupindra Road, Patiala, that flouted the govt orders.
When the news is shared with the District Education Officer, Patiala, she said” I’ll got it checked, why the school management has called their teachers, when the government has declared holidays? She also admitted that the DAV Public School, Bhupindra Road, Patiala authorities had called her up on Saturday and asked her to what to do, as the government has announced the holidays on a short notice, and we have to plan the holiday homework, etc. She said, I asked them to discuss the matter with their teaching staff on Zoom, online ,but don’t call them in school.”
This is not the first time that this school defies Punjab government orders.

But DAV Public school, Bhupindra Road Patiala, openly flouted that orders also and hold examination on March 20,2021.
