As heavy rainfall continues to batter Tamil Nadu, the state government has taken steps to ensure the safety of its citizens. Following a warning from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) for heavy to very heavy rainfall, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has declared a holiday for schools and colleges in four districts on Tuesday. This decision was made to prioritize the well-being of students and staff amidst the challenging weather conditions.
In addition to the school closures, the state government has also issued a work-from-home advisory for specific areas from October 15th to 18th. This measure aims to minimize the risks associated with travel and potential disruptions caused by the heavy rainfall. The authorities are closely monitoring the situation and will continue to provide updates as necessary.
