Kashmir Schools Reopen After Flood Disruptions
9 Sep
Summary
- Most Kashmir schools reopened, some still flooded
- Flood-affected people sheltered in some schools
- Weather to improve, farmers advised to harvest crops
As of September 9, 2025, the majority of government and private schools in Kashmir have reopened, though a few remain closed due to flood damage or being used as relief centers. Education Minister Sakina Itoo stated that classes have resumed in most schools after the government had announced closures on September 3rd.
However, some schools are still flooded and therefore closed. Additionally, a few schools have been turned into temporary shelters for people affected by the recent floods. Itoo said these flood-impacted schools will remain closed until they are cleaned and deemed safe for students.
The weather in Kashmir is expected to improve starting September 9th, with generally hot and humid conditions and brief spells of rain. The meteorological center has advised farmers to begin harvesting paddy and other crops from September 9th onwards. A fresh spell of light to moderate rain and thundershowers is anticipated on September 13th.
