The city of Bengaluru is currently experiencing heavy rainfall, leading to widespread disruptions in daily life. As a result, schools and colleges in the city will remain closed on October 17, 2023, due to the orange alert issued by the authorities. This closure is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of students and staff in light of the inclement weather conditions.
To minimize the impact of the heavy rain on the workforce, companies in Bengaluru have been advised to implement a work-from-home policy for their employees. This will allow employees to continue their work without being exposed to the dangers of traveling during the torrential downpour. The work-from-home arrangement will also help in reducing traffic congestion on the city's already strained road network.
Although schools will be closed, the educational process will not come to a complete standstill. Educational institutions have been advised to conduct online classes for students in higher grades. This will help to ensure that students continue to receive their education without any significant disruption to their academic schedules. For students in lower grades, assignments have been provided to keep them engaged and productive during the school closure period. This ensures that students of all levels continue to learn and progress despite the challenging weather conditions.
