In response to the ongoing heavy rainfall across Tamil Nadu, several districts, including Chennai, have declared a holiday for schools to ensure the safety and well-being of students. The decision was made by district collectors in regions such as Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, and Chengalpattu, where significant rainfall has already been reported.
The relentless downpour has caused waterlogging and disrupted daily life in many areas. Authorities have urged residents to stay indoors and take necessary precautions. The weather department has forecasted more rain in the coming days, prompting the need for such measures.
School administrations have been informed about the closures, and parents are advised to keep their children at home until further notice. Emergency services and local bodies are on high alert to address any contingencies arising from the heavy rains.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated through official channels and adhere to the advisories issued by the authorities to ensure their safety.
