Srinagar, Aug 27: Owing to the prevailing inclement weather, the Jammu and Kashmir government has ordered the closure of all schools and colleges across the Union Territory on Thursday.
Health and Education Minister Sakeena Itoo announced that educational institutions will remain closed as a precautionary measure.
She said the step was necessitated by the worsening weather situation. Continuous heavy rainfall has led to flood-like conditions in several parts of J&K, with river Jhelum and other streams flowing above the flood declaration mark in the Valley and crossing the danger level in Jammu division.
Earlier in the day, the Minister also confirmed the decision in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating: “Schools and Colleges across Jammu & Kashmir will remain closed tomorrow (28.08.2025) in view of inclement weather.”
