Continuous rainfall across Udupi district prompted authorities to declare a holiday for all schools and colleges on Thursday, July 2, as a precautionary measure.
The decision followed the pattern of severe weather that had been affecting the region for several days, causing rough roads, flash floods, and an increase in vehicular accidents. School principals and college deans, after consulting with local transport officials, confirmed that keeping the institutions closed would reduce travel hazards.
Students and staff were advised to stay indoors, and emergency services were on standby. The release of the holiday is expected to minimize accidents and provide relief for students who might otherwise face dangerous commutes. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
