On September 7, heavy rain triggered targeted school holidays in select districts, not statewide. Orders span parts of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Rajasthan after waterlogging and disrupted transport. District magistrates confirmed closures for today, subject to review as conditions evolve. See the verified district-wise list, timings and reopening plan below.
Uttar Pradesh closures cover Bareilly, Bijnor, Sambhal, Pilibhit, Shahjahanpur and Budaun. Class scope differs by district, with several up to Class 8 and some till Class 12. Uttarakhand’s Nainital shut all schools and Anganwadi centres. Rajasthan’s Jhalawar announced a one-day holiday for Classes 1 to 12.

Media reports citing the India Meteorological Department flagged very heavy rain risk today. Western Uttar Pradesh districts featured in those warnings. Nainital also remained under heavy rain warnings from the Dehradun centre. Expect localised inundation and slow buses; avoid flooded underpasses and allow travel buffer.
Cross-check your district’s order on DM or collector handles and official websites. Reconfirm through school WhatsApp or SMS circulars. For weather, track IMD district warnings and your city page. Prioritise safety, plan commutes conservatively, and expect updates through the afternoon if conditions worsen.
