Heavy rainfall across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana led authorities to shut schools in several districts on Tuesday, citing safety concerns for students and staff.
State education departments in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana announced the closure of schools in a number of districts on Tuesday after continuous heavy rain made commuting hazardous.
The decision, taken as a precautionary measure, aims to protect students, teachers and support staff from flooding, water‑logged roads and potential accidents.
Transport services in the affected areas were also disrupted, with many school buses unable to operate safely. Parents were advised to keep children at home until conditions improve.
Officials said schools would reopen once the weather stabilises and normal transportation resumes, and they will monitor the situation closely.
