Bajura, February 27 Teaching-learning activities have been badly affected in almost all schools due to continuous snowfall followed by rain in Bajura since a month. Education Development and Coordination Unit acting Chief Ramesh Bahadur Janal, said students could not attend schools due to excessive cold. “Daily activities in the schools have been badly affected,” he said. “The classes have not come into operation in full swing even though the schools are open,” he added.
