In response to persistent rainfall and severe weather warnings, the District Collector of Kozhikode, Snehil Kumar Singh, has declared a holiday for all schools and professional colleges within the district on Friday. This closure extends to anganwadis and madrasas as well, highlighting the seriousness of the situation and prioritizing the safety of students and staff. This marks the fourth consecutive day of school closures in Kozhikode due to the ongoing inclement weather.
The decision to declare a holiday reflects the district administration's commitment to prioritizing the safety and well-being of its citizens, especially vulnerable groups like children. The continuous rainfall has led to concerns about potential flooding, landslides, and other weather-related hazards. Closing educational institutions helps minimize the risk of students and staff being exposed to these dangers.
This decision comes in the wake of a series of weather alerts issued by the meteorological department warning of heavy rainfall and rough weather conditions in the region. The closure of schools and colleges serves as a precautionary measure, ensuring the safety of students and staff while the weather situation is assessed and monitored. The district administration will continue to closely observe the weather conditions and provide updates regarding school closures as necessary.
