Gautam Buddh Nagar district basic education officer Rahul Pawar announced on Tuesday that all schools, including government, aided, unaided, CBSE, ICSE and other boards, up to Class 12, will be closed on Wednesday, September 3.
The closure was based on instructions from district magistrate (DM) Medha Roopam amid the continuous rainfall and impact on local areas.
“In compliance with the directions of the DM, all schools up to Class 12 across the district will remain closed for students on September 3 due to heavy rainfall. The step has been taken purely in view of the safety of children,” said Pawar.
Officials noted that classes have been suspended for students, but the teaching and non-teaching staff in council primary, upper primary and composite schools will have to attend and carry out their routine work.
Pawar further said, "Parents have been advised not to send their wards to school on Wednesday. The administration has also asked school authorities to circulate the notice promptly and ensure compliance."
All schools up to Class 12 have been ordered to remain shut on Wednesday in Ghaziabad as well, with officials saying that further decisions on holiday declaration would be taken on the basis of weather conditions.
Ghaziabad's basic education officer OP Yadav said in a statement, “The school holiday is declared for all students from nursery to Class 12 due to heavy rainfall in the district in view of their safety. This order must be strictly complied with.”
Additional district magistrate (ADM-finance) and nodal officer for disaster relief, Saurabh Bhatt, also said, "“All schools have been directed to observe closure on September 3. Any further closure will be taken based on a weather assessment. The sub-divisional magistrates have been activated and have gotten in touch with respective agencies to get the dilapidated residential buildings in the city vacated. Similar instructions have been ordered for dilapidated government buildings."
The district witnessed heavy rainfall on Tuesday afternoon and evening.
The district administrations of Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr and Baghpat also announced the closure of schools on Wednesday.
Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) of Bulandshahr, Lakshmi Kant Pandey, ordered the holiday for all schools across the education boards up to Class 12 due to heavy rain.
Baghpat district magistrate Asmita Lal also issued similar orders for the closure of schools.
All schools in Chandigarh are also closed on Wednesday due to the inclement weather in the region. The city, which is the common capital of Punjab and Haryana, has recorded more than 140 mm of rainfall since Sunday.
