Schools Shut in Tamil Nadu’s Tiruvannamalai, Viluppuram and Kallakurichi Districts

The state education department announced that all schools in the districts of Tiruvannamalai, Viluppuram and Kallakurichi will remain closed for the day. The directive, issued early this morning, applies to government‑run as well as private institutions across the three districts.
Officials have not provided a detailed reason in the initial notice, but the closure aligns with similar announcements in other parts of Tamil Nadu where weather or public safety concerns have prompted temporary shutdowns. Parents and guardians have been advised to keep children at home and monitor official channels for any further instructions.
The department also asked residents to refer to the Chennai holiday update for any additional information that may affect the capital city’s schools and offices. Transportation services in the affected districts are expected to operate normally, though some private schools may choose to follow the same schedule.
Education authorities emphasized that the decision prioritises the safety and well‑being of students and staff, and that regular classes will resume once the situation is reassessed.
Stakeholders are encouraged to stay informed through the state’s official education portal and local news outlets.
