Overview
- The India Meteorological Department’s heavy-rain warnings that cover August 10–12 have prompted district collectors to decide school status locally rather than states ordering blanket holidays.
- Several Uttar Pradesh district magistrates put schools in Ghaziabad, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar and Baghpat fully closed and ordered a half‑day in Noida to manage Kanwar Yatra traffic and local safety risks.
- Uttarakhand’s Bageshwar district closed schools for August 10 after IMD issued orange alerts for parts of the state, while other hill districts were placed on heightened vigilance for landslides and flash floods.
- Assam ordered schools to reopen on August 10 with Education Minister Ranoj Pegu directing alternative venues for campuses still damaged or silted by recent floods, and Kerala’s coast remains under an INCOIS Kallakkadal warning for dangerous coastal swell.
- Officials warn parents to follow district or school channels for real‑time notices because many schools are serving as relief camps, some exams and university tests have been postponed, and authorities are using online classes and temporary sites to limit lost instruction time.
