The Ayodhya district administration has declared a holiday for all schools from nursery to intermediate level across all boards on September 25, following a forecast of heavy rainfall. The order, issued on the directions of the District Magistrate, must be strictly complied with by all concerned authorities.
The directive was issued by the District Basic Education Officer and the District School Inspector, Ayodhya. Meanwhile, in Varanasi, the Ganga's water level has receded below the warning mark, leaving heavy silt on the ghats. The Varanasi Municipal Corporation has stepped up cleaning and desilting operations ahead of an air show at Namo Ghat on October 22, 23, and 25.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Ayodhya has seen rising flood risks in recent years, with the Saryu river often breaching danger marks during heavy monsoon spells. District administrations in Uttar Pradesh routinely declare school holidays under such warnings, typically relying on India Meteorological Department alerts. The decision affects thousands of students across government and private schools in the district. The Varanasi air show, expected to draw large crowds, puts pressure on the municipal corporation to restore the ghats quickly ahead of the festive season, when tourist footfall peaks.
