Weather, Strikes Cause School Chaos Across India
10 Dec
Summary
- Cyclone Ditwah's aftermath causes scattered rain and gusty winds.
- Teachers' strike impacts school operations in Maharashtra's Marathwada.
- Cold-wave conditions lead to scheduled closures in many hill districts.
As December unfolds, Indian schools are contending with a volatile mix of weather disruptions and administrative challenges. Coastal areas are experiencing lingering effects from Cyclone Ditwah, with scattered rainfall and gusty winds impacting operations. While no widespread holidays were declared for December 10th, many districts remain weather-sensitive, leaving schools to decide on partial closures or altered timings based on local conditions.
In Maharashtra, the Marathwada belt faces ongoing disruptions due to a teachers' strike, affecting class operations on December 10th. In contrast, schools in major urban centers like Mumbai are expected to function normally. Meanwhile, numerous hill districts are already under scheduled closure until December 14th due to severe cold-wave conditions, dense fog, and early snowfall, prioritizing student safety over regular schooling.
Authorities are urging parents and students to remain updated via school apps and local administration messages, given the rapidly changing weather and localized decisions. While no official holidays were announced for December 10th in northern states, heavy fog and dropping temperatures may lead to modified school timings or late starts in affected districts.
