In view of a red zone warning for heavy rainfall issued by the Regional Meteorology Centre, the Nuapada district administration has announced the closure of all schools across the district.
Following directives from District Collector Madhusudan Das, the District Education Officer has officially declared a holiday for all categories of schools — government, private, and aided institutions — to ensure the safety of students amid the impending severe weather.
The announcement was communicated widely through official messages. “The decision has been taken keeping in mind the safety of students’ lives,” officials said. Many schools in the district also face infrastructural challenges, which further necessitated the precautionary measure in anticipation of heavy downpour.
The district administration urged parents and students to stay updated with further advisories from local authorities as the weather situation evolves. Normal classes are expected to resume once the red alert is lifted.
