School Holiday, November 4, Tomorrow, Tuesday: After a period of many holidays, most schools across the country are back to their normal schedules today. There were various reasons for recent school closures. Some schools closed for local festivals, while others in southern India, specifically Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, had to shut down due to Cyclone Montha. Odisha also declared a holiday because of cyclone warnings.
However, in one district of Uttar Pradesh, students have a longer break. Schools there will be closed from November 3rd to November 6th for the Kartik Purnima Ganga Snan Mela. We'll be keeping an eye on how schools are reopening in different states and in areas that were affected by the rain.
