School holiday in Pune

Heavy rainfall warnings have prompted school closures across multiple regions in India, including Pune and Raigad in Maharashtra, and Dehradun in Uttarakhand. In Pune, District Collector Suhas Diwase declared a holiday for schools on July 25 due to expected heavy rains and the discharge of water from Khadakwasla dam, urging citizens to remain cautious. Similarly, in Raigad, authorities closed all educational institutions on July 25 following a red alert from the India Meteorological Department, citing safety concerns due to swollen rivers and communication disruptions. Dehradun also announced school closures for July 23, following predictions of severe rain and potential landslides, with strict measures to enforce compliance. This trend reflects a broader response to extreme weather conditions impacting several educational institutions across the states.
