The Bhojpur district administration has suspended classes in five government schools from 24 to 29 August to safeguard students amid rising Ganga water levels and flood concerns.
The Bhojpur district administration announced that classes will be suspended in five government schools from 24 August to 29 August. The decision was taken to protect students and staff as the Ganga’s water level continues to rise across the district.
Local authorities warned that the river’s swelling could lead to sudden flooding, especially in low‑lying areas where the schools are situated. The closure is a preventive measure to avoid any risk of water ingress or damage to school infrastructure.
Students and teachers have been advised to stay at home and await further instructions. Parents are urged to keep their children safe and monitor local weather updates.
The district administration will monitor the situation closely and will reopen schools once the water levels recede and safety can be assured.
