Heavy Rain in UP: Schools Closed in Bareilly and Lakhimpur Kheri – Check Dates

Heavy rain has prompted official school holidays in two Uttar Pradesh districts today. Bareilly has shut classes from Nursery to Class 8 on September 8 and 9. Lakhimpur Kheri has closed the same classes for September 8. Orders cover all recognised schools and boards. Reopening is planned on September 10 and September 9, respectively.

In Bareilly, District Magistrate Avinash Singh issued the two-day closure after continuous rainfall and waterlogging. In Lakhimpur Kheri, District Basic Education Officer Pravin Tiwari announced a one-day shutdown and told staff to report for assigned duties. Schools will share any internal exam changes directly with parents and students.

UP rain holiday: Dates, classes, and reopening

Both districts have applied the holiday to Nursery through Class 8 across government, aided, and recognised private institutions, including Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE). Lakhimpur Kheri targets September 8 only, while Bareilly spans September 8 and 9, with classes resuming the next working day.

Bareilly schools closed Sep 8–9: What the DM’s order covers

The Bareilly administration extended closure to two days after intense rain reportedly broke a multi‑year record and disrupted movement in low‑lying areas. The order covers all boards and recognised schools up to Class 8. Parents should expect revised classwork plans from principals before Thursday’s reopening.

Lakhimpur Kheri schools closed today: Staff attendance and exams

Lakhimpur Kheri’s notice mandates teacher and non‑teaching attendance today to complete tasks like Operation Kayakalp, Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), and Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) updates. Internal tests stand deferred; principals will share new dates. Students with external exams must confirm with the organiser.

How to verify DM or BSA circulars and avoid rumours

Verify notices on the official district websites and verified social handles first. Check for memo number, date, signature, and issuing office. Cross‑check weather context on the India Meteorological Department’s Bareilly page; advisories can change quickly. Avoid statewide‑closure forwards; orders are district‑specific and time‑bound. For help, call your school office.

Key takeaway for students and parents: Bareilly schools up to Class 8 are closed on September 8 and 9; Lakhimpur Kheri is closed today, September 8, only. Track school messages for exam reschedules, carry admit cards for any external tests, and recheck official channels tonight for any further updates before classes resume.
