The Dakshina Kannada district administration has extended the rain holiday to Wednesday, July 3. This comprehensive order applies to all anganwadis and schools from LKG to Class 12. Pre-University (PU) colleges across the district will also remain shut today. The decision follows a fresh red alert for heavy monsoon rainfall in the region.
The Deputy Commissioner (DC) issued the directive through the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA). Families can verify these updates through official school SMS or digital ERP portals. This extension ensures that younger children do not face risks while commuting during downpours. Such measures prioritize local safety and public health over strict academic schedules today.

All internal exams and monthly tests during this period will be rescheduled soon. Educational institutes will announce these new dates on their websites or notice boards. Students will not face any attendance penalties for missing school or college classes today. Staff members should follow their specific institutional advisories regarding work expectations this morning.
Rainfall in the district has crossed the warning threshold in multiple coastal talukas. Heavy rain has led to flooding in several low-lying urban areas since last night. The district administration is working with rescue teams to ensure local citizen safety. Families are encouraged to stock up on essentials and stay updated on weather alerts.
Residents must avoid visiting water bodies or low-lying areas during this intense weather. Authorities advise students staying in hostels to remain indoors for maximum safety. Commuting is only recommended for essential needs due to increased landslide risks. Local helplines are now active to assist citizens facing floods or other emergency situations.
People are now waiting for the evening update regarding the July 4 status. The district administration continues to monitor weather patterns closely to decide on further extensions. Keeping track of official government circulars is vital for planning the next academic day. This proactive step helps maintain public order and protects the community from monsoon hazards.
