All schools across Jharkhand have been ordered to remain closed today and tomorrow following the imminent threat of Cyclone Arnab.
Jharkhand's School Education Department announced that all schools in the state will remain closed today and tomorrow as Cyclone Arnab is expected to affect the region.
The directive aims to protect students, teachers and parents from hazards such as strong winds, heavy rain and potential flooding.
A district-wise list of closures has been released, and officials have urged parents to keep children at home while monitoring updates from the India Meteorological Department.
Cyclone Arnab is projected to make landfall later this week, prompting similar precautionary measures in neighboring states.
Schools are slated to resume normal operations once the cyclone passes and authorities deem conditions safe.
