The city of Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala, India, is facing a critical water supply issue, prompting the closure of all educational institutions within the city corporation limits on Monday. This decision was made after the Kerala Water Authority (KWA) failed to restore water supply by Sunday evening, leaving residents uncertain about when they would have access to clean water again.
The District Collector, Anu Kumari, declared the holiday, which applies to all educational institutions, including professional colleges. Schools scheduled to hold examinations on Monday have been instructed to reschedule them. However, the District Collector clarified that the holiday will not disrupt the ongoing admission process in colleges. This measure aims to ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff by minimizing their exposure to potential health risks associated with water scarcity.
The KWA has been working diligently to resolve the water supply issue, but the delay in restoration has caused significant inconvenience and anxiety among residents. The holiday declaration reflects the gravity of the situation and the authorities' concern for the well-being of the city's students. As the KWA continues to work on restoring water supply, it remains to be seen when normalcy will return to the city and when students can resume their studies.
