Cyclone Ditwah: Puducherry Schools Remain Shut Today Amid Rain Alert
Puducherry schools closed today as authorities take precautionary steps in view of expected heavy rainfall from Cyclone Ditwah. Home and Education Minister A Namassivayam announced that all institutions, including private and government-aided schools across the four regions of the Union Territory, will remain shut on December 1.
He added that the administration is closely tracking the weather conditions and has put necessary arrangements in place.

The weather system has been drifting northwards at around 10 kmph and was centred over the same region as of late Sunday night.
