Delhi School Holiday Today? City Schools Open On Friday A Day After Rain Forced Holiday; Many Closed Tomorrow

Delhi School Holiday Today? The schools in the national capital will be functioning as per their routine from today onwards. The schools open today after the government declared one-day holiday on Thursday after heavy downpour lashed the national capital on Wednesday leading to waterlogging everywhere.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), intermittent showers are likely in Delhi till August 5. Heavy rains lashed several parts of Delhi and its adjoining National Capital Region (NCR) on Wednesday evening, providing relief from the humid weather. The downpours, however, resulted in traffic congestion and rain-related incidents across the city.

The Delhi government declared a holiday on Thursday as a precautionary measure in wake of the drowning incidents in Ghazipur and Rajinder Nagar. While three UPSC aspirants died after flooding of a coaching centre basement in Rajinder Nagar, a mother-child duo died after falling in an open drain as they could not spot it due to rain-induced flooding.

While schools are open today, many schools will be closed tomorrow, especially for primary classes, on account of Saturday as a routine practice. 

On the other hand, schools in neighbouring Noida and Ghaziabad will open from Monday as the district declared a holiday till August 2 on account of ongoing Kanwar Yatra.
