School Holiday: Due to heavy rains, holiday has been declared in schools up to class VIII in Bareilly district on Monday.
District Basic Education Officer Sanjay Singh said that keeping in view the continuous rain, on the instructions of the District Magistrate, holiday has been declared on Monday in all council schools from class one to eight, government, non-government aided, schools recognized by all boards including CBSE.
Children were returned from school
However, before the holiday was declared, the children had reached the schools, who were later returned.
Heavy rain late on Sunday night
The weather cleared during the day after the morning rain in the district on Sunday, but heavy rain started again late at night, due to which the main roads of the city were submerged.
At the same time, the power substation in Faridpur was flooded, due to which the power supply of the area was also disrupted. Also, due to rain, the temperature is also continuously falling.
Forecast for the coming days
Meteorologists have predicted some relief from rain in the coming two days. The district has been receiving intermittent rains for the past several days.
This is providing relief to the farmers, but problems have increased due to waterlogging at many places in the urban area and sinking and damage of roads and drains.
Claims of drain cleaning by the corporation fail
The claims made by the corporation regarding drain cleaning also appeared to be a failure. Due to potholes on the road at many places on City Station Road, pedestrians had to face a lot of trouble.
Photos of waterlogging in schools posted
Teachers have started taking photos of waterlogging in schools and posting them on the social media platform ‘X’ (formerly Twitter).
Along with this, an appeal is also being made to continuously re-post on the WhatsApp groups of teachers’ organizations.
