Record rainfall has shut down schools across West and Sepahijala districts in Tripura, prompting authorities to suspend classes for the day.
Heavy rainfall in early July has caused widespread flooding across West and Sepahijala districts of Tripura, leading to the closure of all schools in the affected areas.
The Tripura Education Department announced that classes would be suspended for the day to ensure student safety, as roads and school premises were reported to be waterlogged.
Local officials cited concerns over damaged infrastructure and the risk of landslides, urging parents to keep children at home until the situation stabilises.
The government has deployed additional resources to clear drainage channels and is monitoring weather updates to determine when it is safe to resume normal schooling.
