Authorities in Andhra Pradesh have declared a one‑day school holiday across six districts as a heavy rain warning persists.
The education department of Andhra Pradesh announced that schools in six districts will remain closed for the day following a heavy rain alert issued by the state’s meteorological agency. The decision, communicated through official circulars, aims to ensure the safety of students and staff as forecasts predict intense rainfall and possible flooding in the affected areas.
Districts under the holiday order include several areas where local authorities have already warned residents to avoid travel on flooded roads. Parents have been urged to keep children at home and to stay updated via local news channels and government notifications.
The move reflects a broader precautionary approach adopted by the state during the monsoon season, when sudden downpours can disrupt transportation and pose risks to public safety. Schools are expected to resume normal operations once the weather clears and authorities lift the alert.
Officials reiterated that the holiday is a temporary measure and advised citizens to cooperate with emergency services, especially in low‑lying regions prone to waterlogging.
