Overview
- The India Meteorological Department has issued district-level orange and red warnings for parts of Delhi‑NCR and Maharashtra because of heavy rain, thunderstorms and gusty winds.
- Ghaziabad district ordered a holiday for Classes 1–12 after continuous heavy rainfall produced waterlogging and travel disruption in the area.
- Delhi, Noida, Gurugram and most of Mumbai were told to operate normally with no statewide school holiday or blanket office closures announced by state governments.
- District collectors and municipal bodies such as the BMC retain authority to declare local holidays or shift to online classes based on real‑time conditions, and institutions may adopt flexible reporting if commuting is unsafe.
- Parents and commuters should rely on official school, district and municipal channels for last‑minute decisions because localised flooding and traffic jams have already affected daily travel and could worsen.
