Heavy Rains in Several Parts of Karnataka; Holiday Declared for Schools and Colleges

Due to heavy rainfall in Dakshina Kannada district, schools, colleges, and Anganwadi facilities in numerous taluks have been closed. Under the leadership of Deputy Commissioner Mullai Mugilan, the district administration decided to guarantee the safety of students and employees in the face of severe flooding and landslides.

Today, the meteorological support issued an Orange signal in Dakshina Kannada. Following heavy rains, Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Dr. Rajendra KV has urged staff to take all precautions if kids have already arrived at the district's schools. " A holiday has been declared for students who are unable to attend classes." "I have asked the tahsildars and Block Education officers in Taluks to assess the situation today and make a decision," he said.

Due to the constant rain, educational institutions have declared holidays for the protection of their students. College administrative boards must closely adhere to this. When the district administration declares a holiday, it must be observed. Any institution found to violate the disaster management legislation will face legal action.

Landslides have been reported in the coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Uttara Kannada, and Udupi as a result of the heavy rain. However, fatalities have been reported.
