Schools, Colleges to Remain Closed in J&K’s Ramban on Monday due to Rains
The residents of Ramban district in Jammu and Kashmir are gearing up to face another challenging day on Monday, as the authorities have decided to shut down all government and private schools, colleges, and technical education institutions in the region due to inclement weather and heavy rains.
The decision was taken by the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Ramban, who tweeted about the closure on Sunday. The tweet read, “In view of inclement weather and heavy rains, all government and private schools, colleges and technical education institutions of Ramban district will remain closed on Monday.”
This decision comes as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of students and staff amid the severe weather conditions. The region has been experiencing heavy rainfall and landslides, which have caused significant disruptions to daily life.
The news of school closures has been met with mixed reactions from parents and students. While some have expressed relief that the authorities are taking necessary precautions to ensure their safety, others are worried about the impact on their academic schedules.
“Not just schools, but colleges and technical institutions should also remain closed until the weather improves,” said Rohan, a student of Ramban College. “We are already struggling to cope with the syllabus, and this rain is making it even more difficult. I hope the authorities take necessary steps to ensure our safety.”
On the other hand, some parents are concerned about the potential impact on their children’s education. “My daughter is in class 10 and is already under a lot of pressure. This closure will only add to her stress,” said Rohit, a parent. “I hope the authorities find a way to make up for the lost time when the weather improves.”
The region has been experiencing heavy rainfall and landslides in the past few days, which have caused significant disruptions to daily life. Three people have been killed and over 100 rescued after cloudburst, landslides, and flash floods in the region.
The authorities are working tirelessly to rescue those stranded and provide assistance to those affected by the natural disasters. The Indian Army, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and other rescue teams are on the ground, working to evacuate people from affected areas.
The news of school closures has also raised concerns about the potential impact on the overall education system in the region. “This is a crucial time for students, and any disruption to their schedule can have long-term consequences,” said Dr. Meenakshi, a education expert. “I hope the authorities find a way to make up for the lost time and ensure that students do not suffer academically.”
As the region continues to battle the severe weather conditions, the people of Ramban are bracing themselves for another challenging day. While the school closures may cause inconvenience, they are a necessary measure to ensure the safety of students and staff.
