Heavy rains prompt school holiday in Chennai

Due to persistent heavy rains on Tuesday, attributed to the Low Pressure Area (LPA) in the Bay of Bengal, the Chennai District Collector has declared the closure of schools in the region on Wednesday. The onset of the Northeast monsoon has led to several coastal districts experiencing continuous heavy rainfall over the past few days. District Collector Prabhu Shankar has announced a holiday for schools and colleges tomorrow (November 15) in Thiruvallur district as a precautionary measure against continued heavy rains. In response to heavy rains, educational institutions in Puducherry have been preemptively closed for tomorrow, November 15, ensuring the safety of students and staff.
