Nuh School Reopening: Schools in Nuh District, Haryana reopened on August 11, 2023, after a gap of 12 days. The government and private schools in the district were closed since July 31, 2023, due to the communal violence which erupted in the district.

The authorities met students on Friday and counselling was conducted since a few of them are still panicking.
