All Schools, Colleges to Remain Shut on April 21 in J&K’s Ramban
The recent flash floods caused by heavy rain in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ramban district have led to a significant disruption in the daily lives of students and teachers alike. The Ramban district administration has taken a precautionary measure by announcing that all educational institutions in the district will remain closed on April 21.
The decision to shut down schools and colleges was taken after a cloudburst near Chenab Bridge in Dharamkund led to the death of three people and damaged several houses in the area. The incident also left nearly 100 people stranded, who were later rescued by police teams.
According to reports, the cloudburst occurred on the evening of April 19, causing widespread destruction and panic in the affected areas. The weather conditions were unfavorable, with heavy rain and strong winds making it difficult for people to venture out.
The rescue operations were carried out by police teams, who worked tirelessly to evacuate the stranded people to safer locations. The rescue teams faced several challenges, including treacherous terrain and poor visibility, but managed to rescue nearly 100 people, including women and children.
The district administration has been working round-the-clock to assess the damage caused by the flash floods and to provide relief to the affected families. The officials have been conducting door-to-door surveys to identify the extent of damage to houses and other properties.
The closure of schools and colleges on April 21 is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of students and teachers. The district administration has been monitoring the weather conditions closely and will take a decision on re-opening the educational institutions once the situation improves.
The flash floods in Ramban district have also disrupted the normal life of the people, with many areas experiencing power and water shortages. The district administration has assured that every effort is being made to restore the basic amenities as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the people of Ramban district are advised to remain vigilant and to follow the instructions of the local authorities. The district administration has also set up relief camps for the affected families, where they can receive food, shelter, and other essential items.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for natural disasters and the need to take necessary precautions to ensure safety. The people of Ramban district have shown remarkable resilience in the face of adversity, and it is hoped that they will be able to recover quickly from the impact of the flash floods.
