Delhi Schools Closed: Due to heavy rains in Delhi, all schools will remain closed on Thursday, August 1. Education Minister Atishi has announced this. It has been raining heavily in Delhi since Wednesday evening and the weather is expected to remain bad on Thursday as well. In the order issued by the Education Minister, it has been said that all private and government schools should be kept closed.
This decision has been taken in view of the heavy rain in Delhi and the waterlogging caused due to it. Late on Wednesday night, Education Minister Atishi wrote on Twitter, ‘In view of the heavy rain this evening and the possibility of heavy rain tomorrow, all schools (government and private) will remain closed tomorrow (Thursday).’ Heavy rain has occurred in the entire Delhi NCR. The weather will remain bad on Thursday as well. Heavy rain may occur in many areas of Delhi on Thursday as well.
In some areas of Delhi, about 100 mm of rain occurred in just one hour. Due to this, many places also faced the problem of waterlogging and traffic jam. People were stuck in the jam for hours. Even a distance of a few kilometers could be covered in several hours. As a precaution, the government decided to close the schools.
In light of very heavy rainfall today evening and forecast of heavy rainfall tomorrow, all schools – government and private – will remain closed tomorrow, 1st August

It is worth noting that on 27th July, three UPSC students died due to drowning in the basement of a coaching institute in Old Rajendra Nagar due to heavy rains. In such a situation, the government does not want to take any risk. All schools and coaching institutes have been asked to be extra cautious.
