September 25 school closure: Check states
Schools and colleges across parts of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha will observe a closure on Friday, September 25, due to differing reasons. These include the Ganesh idol immersion procession in Telangana and adverse weather conditions in other regions. Parents and students are advised to verify announcements from their local district administrations and schools before proceeding.
In Hyderabad, Secunderabad, and surrounding areas of Ranga Reddy and Medchal-Malkajgiri districts, schools and colleges will be on break on September 25 due to the Ganesh idol immersion procession. The Telangana government has declared the day a holiday for educational institutions in the specified areas. Following the holiday, November 14 will serve as a working day in lieu of the September 25 closure.
Andhra Pradesh schools have also announced closures as heavy rain linked to a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal continues to impact several districts. Areas affected include Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Parvathipuram Manyam, Visakhapatnam, Alluri Sitharama Raju, and Anakapalle. Authorities have responded to the weather conditions by closing schools and Anganwadi centres.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted further heavy to very heavy rainfall in some parts of the region, prompting precautionary measures by district administrations.
In Odisha, multiple districts have declared school closures due to heavy rainfall and adverse weather conditions. These districts include Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Ganjam, Gajapati, Koraput, and Khurda, with the duration of the holiday varying by district. Malkangiri has announced that schools and Anganwadi centres will remain closed through September 25. Parents should check their district-level orders, as the holiday's duration is not consistent across Odisha.
Weather forecasts for September 25 and beyond indicate ongoing rainfall activity across several parts of the country. In northwest India, Uttarakhand and West Uttar Pradesh may experience isolated heavy rainfall on September 25 and 27, respectively. Central India, including parts of Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, and Chhattisgarh, is expected to witness rainfall and thunderstorms, with isolated heavy rainfall possible in West and East Madhya Pradesh.
East India, encompassing Bihar, Gangetic West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Odisha, will also face rainfall, with isolated heavy rainfall forecast for Gangetic West Bengal and Jharkhand on September 25. Northeast India, including Assam and Meghalaya, is likely to receive widespread rainfall, while West India may see rainfall activity in Gujarat, Konkan, Goa, Madhya Maharashtra, and Marathwada.
