News India Live, Digital Desk: The news of nature’s havoc in Tamil Nadu and ‘relief’ for students has come together. If you live in the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu, you must have noticed that water has been raining heavily from the sky for the last few hours. In view of this situation and giving priority to the safety of children, the administration has taken a big decision.

3 day ‘mini vacation’?
In view of the heavy rains and warnings from the Meteorological Department, some districts of Tamil Nadu, especially Tiruvarur to schools in 3 days leave Has been given. Yes, the administration has made it clear that the doors of schools will remain closed for the next three days. This simply means that children do not need to go to school getting drenched in heavy rain.

Why was this decision taken?
Due to continuous rains, many low lying areas are flooded (Waterlogging). It has become difficult to travel on the roads. In such a situation, there is a fear of the school bus getting stuck or children getting hurt. The District Collector and the Education Department have issued this order without taking any risk so that children remain safe in their homes.

Important advice for parents

  1. Trust the official news: Many times false news also circulates on social media. Wait for a message from your child’s school WhatsApp group or teacher and only then consider it confirmed.
  2. Do not let children go outside: Vacation does not mean that children should go out to play in the water. The weather is bad and going to waterlogged areas can pose a risk of illness or electrocution.

What is the condition of other districts?
Not only Thiruvarur, collectors in many other nearby districts are also keeping an eye on the weather. If the pace of rain continues like this, then early morning holiday may be declared in Chennai or other coastal cities also.

For now, it’s a time of fun for kids, but a time of caution for adults. Take care and stay safe!
