Heavy rains in many states of the country, but schools had to be closed in India's 'heaven'

Heat wave in Jammu and Kashmir: As the heat increases in the plains, people are thinking of heading to the valleys of Kashmir, Himachal and Uttarakhand. But what will happen when the heatwave starts blowing in the valleys as well. Such is the situation in Kashmir in this heat. Not only this, primary schools have to remain closed for two days in the month of July. This is because toilets are being used there. All private and government schools in Kashmir have been ordered to remain closed on 29th and 30th July. Kashmir's Divisional Commissioner V.K. Bidhuri issued this order and said that students should not be called. However, teachers have been asked to remain present in schools.

V.K. Bidhuri has said in the order, 'Due to the ongoing heat wave in the valley, primary level government and private schools are ordered to remain closed on 29 and 30 July. However, all teachers and other staff have been asked to be present in the schools. In areas like Anantnag in South Kashmir, people are seen bathing in pits. A local citizen said that such a situation is probably being created due to global warming. Most areas of Kashmir, including Srinagar, did not experience such severe heat. Due to the heat, people have to resort to lakes, pits and waterfalls to save themselves.

This year Kashmir has been experiencing severe heat and the record of the last 25 years has been broken in July. On Sunday, the temperature in Srinagar reached 36 degrees Celsius. For the first time since 9 July 1999, such a high temperature has been seen in Srinagar in the month of July. However, the highest temperature ever recorded in Srinagar was on 10 July 1946. Then the temperature had gone up to 38.3 degrees Celsius. The temperature of 35.6 degrees Celsius was also recorded in Qazigund and Kokernag in South Kashmir on Sunday. Apart from this, the temperature of 34 degrees Celsius was also recorded in Kokernag.
