Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir have extended school holidays until July 26 to ensure the safety of students amid adverse weather conditions. This decision follows forecasts from the India Meteorological Department, which has predicted heavy rainfall across the region.
The extension is part of a broader monitoring effort as the monsoon intensifies throughout the Himalayan region. While Jammu and Kashmir has implemented these closures, there are currently no statewide school closure orders in place for other affected areas, such as Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where widespread rainfall is also expected in the coming days.
