The Jammu and Kashmir government ordered the closure of schools across the Jammu division following a forecast of intense rainfall issued by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).
According to a circular released by the J&K government, all government and private schools in Jammu will be shut on October 6th and 7th.
The pre-emptive closures come in the wake of significant damage caused by earlier intense downpours in the region. Residents of Rajouri faced considerable upheaval, with reports of damaged homes, sunken roads, and destroyed crops. Furthermore, multiple landslides, triggered by the rain, have blocked several vital routes across the district.
