Authorities on Wednesday ordered the closure of all schools across the Kashmir for the day following continuous heavy rains that have disrupted life.

Director School Education Kashmir (DSEK), G.N. Itoo, announced that both government and private schools in the division will remain shut. He said the step has been taken as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of students, teachers, and commuters amid the prevailing weather conditions.

The Valley has witnessed incessant rainfall over the past 24 hours, leading to rising water levels in rivers and streams, prompting authorities to issue advisories and take preventive steps.

Education authorities said regular classwork would resume once the weather improves and conditions are deemed safe.
