As Cyclone Arnab nears the Indian coast, authorities have announced a school holiday on October 28 and are releasing state‑wise closure information.
Cyclone Arnab, a developing low‑pressure system in the Bay of Bengal, is expected to make landfall along India's eastern coastline later this week, prompting the India Meteorological Department to issue a yellow alert for several coastal states.
In anticipation of the storm, education departments across the nation have declared a uniform school holiday on October 28, covering both government and private institutions in the affected districts.
State education authorities are concurrently publishing detailed closure lists that include schools, colleges, examination centres and related transport services. Parents and students are urged to follow official notifications for updates specific to their state.
The pre‑emptive holiday aims to safeguard students and allow emergency services to concentrate on potential flooding and wind damage as the cyclone approaches.
