All Schools in Jammu Province to Remain Closed on August 26

In a decision to keep everyone safe, the Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) administration has ordered all schools in the Jammu province to remain closed on August 26. This includes government, private, and aided schools from primary to higher secondary levels. The main reason is the heavy rainfall that’s hitting the region hard, causing floods, landslides, and slippery roads.

Bad weather like this can be dangerous for children traveling to school. The government wants to avoid any risks, so they’ve announced this holiday. It’s a precautionary step, and classes will resume once things get better. This kind of closure happens sometimes during monsoons to protect students and staff.

Jammu province has been facing strong monsoon showers for the past few days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued red and orange alerts for heavy to very heavy rain in districts like Jammu, Samba, Kathua, and others. This has led to waterlogging on roads, rising river levels, and even some power cuts.

The closure is to ensure kids don’t face travel hazards or get caught in sudden downpours. Parents are advised not to send children out unless necessary. The district administrations in Jammu are monitoring the situation closely and will share updates if the closure extends.

For students, this means an unexpected day off, but it’s better to stay safe at home. They can use the time to catch up on studies or enjoy indoor activities. Teachers and school staff also get a break from the weather worries.

Parents should keep an eye on local news or official apps for any changes. The J&K School Education Department has asked schools to inform everyone through messages or calls. Online classes might be an option if the weather improves, but for now, it’s a full closure.

This decision shows how the government prioritizes safety during tough weather. It’s similar to past closures during snow or floods in the region.

Stay indoors if possible, and avoid low-lying areas prone to flooding. Check for updates from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) or local authorities. If there’s an emergency, call the helpline numbers provided by the district.
