The holiday applies to Anganwadis, government, aided and private schools, Pre-University (PU) colleges, ITIs and diploma colleges in both districts. The precautionary measure comes after the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an Orange Alert for the coastal region, warning of intense rainfall.
However, degree colleges, postgraduate institutions and engineering colleges will function as usual, unless individual institutions issue separate notifications.
Authorities have urged residents to remain alert, avoid unnecessary travel to flood-prone areas, riverbanks and the seashore, and follow official advisories as heavy rain is expected to continue in several parts of the coastal districts.
Parents and students are advised to monitor updates from the district administrations and weather authorities for any further announcements.
