The city of Bengaluru is facing heavy rainfall, leading to a disruption in daily life. Due to the increased intensity of the downpour, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for Bengaluru, urging caution and preparedness. As a result of the heavy rainfall and the orange alert, all schools in Bengaluru will remain closed on the day following the article's publication. Companies have also been advised to allow their employees to work from home to minimize the impact of the adverse weather conditions on commuting and workplace operations.
The incessant showers have caused waterlogging and traffic jams in various parts of the city. This situation has prompted the government to close schools and anganwadi centers in the Bengaluru district, emphasizing safety during these extreme weather conditions. However, colleges will remain open, though they have been provided with guidelines to ensure student safety.
The weather disruption has also impacted academic activities. While online classes have been planned for higher grades in most schools, assignments have been given to lower grade students for completion at home. The decision to close schools and encourage work-from-home arrangements reflects the concern for the safety of students and employees amidst the heavy rainfall and its associated challenges.
