Nagpur district authorities declared a holiday for July 29 for all educational institutions today. High rainfall alerts prompted this closure for schools, colleges, and Anganwadis. The order covers both government and private sectors throughout the region. Officials aim to prevent safety risks during heavy monsoon downpours today. Families should verify updates through official District Education Office (DEO) channels and school messages.

The District Collector issued these mandatory instructions early this morning. Waterlogging in several low-lying areas makes travel dangerous for young students today.
