Delhi schools will remain closed on Thursday, April 1, 2024, following heavy rainfall that caused significant disruption in the city. Delhi Education Minister Atishi announced the closure on X, stating, "In light of the very heavy rainfall this evening and the forecast of heavy rainfall tomorrow, all schools both government and private will remain closed on August 1st."
The rain has led to massive waterlogging and traffic disruptions, creating chaos on the roads. The downpour on Wednesday evening severely affected the city's infrastructure, leaving vehicles stranded on flooded roads and causing significant delays. Public transport services were also hampered, adding to the inconvenience faced by commuters.
Emergency services were deployed to manage the situation, but the intensity of the rain made it challenging to clear the waterlogged areas promptly. The heavy rainfall is expected to continue, with meteorological forecasts predicting more rain on Thursday, further exacerbating the situation.
