Panchkula Schools, Anganwadis Shut Down: Monsoon Mayhem Forces Closure
Torrential rains lashed Panchkula on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, leading to widespread waterlogging and severe traffic disruptions. The situation prompted authorities to take swift action.
Consequently, all schools and Anganwadi centres across the district will remain closed on Wednesday, September 3, 2025. This decision was announced late Tuesday evening.
The administration cited safety concerns for students as the primary reason behind the closure. Navigating waterlogged roads and congested traffic poses significant risks.
Parents have been urged to keep children at home and stay updated on weather forecasts. The district administration will continue to monitor the situation closely.
This unexpected closure highlights the challenges posed by erratic monsoon patterns and the urgent need for better urban infrastructure to mitigate the impact of heavy rainfall, especially on vulnerable populations like school children.
