All schools in Prayagraj suspended classes from 1st to 12th grade today as continuous rain and severe weather conditions made it unsafe for students and staff.
The district education office announced that all government and private schools in Prayagraj will be closed for the day. The decision comes after a prolonged downpour that has caused flooding in several parts of the city and made roads unsafe for commuters.
Students and teachers are expected to miss a day of lessons, with authorities advising schools to reschedule missed classes once conditions improve.
Parents have been urged to keep their children at home and to monitor local weather updates. The closure is intended to prevent accidents on slick roads and to ensure the safety of students and staff.
Meteorological reports predict that heavy rainfall may continue over the next few days, so officials will keep the schools closed until it is safe to resume classes.
