Srinagar: Educational institutions in Kashmir remained closed for the second consecutive day on Thursday due to the flood-like situation following heavy rainfall in the valley over the past two days.
In a statement, an official spokesperson said, “In view of adverse weather conditions and as a precautionary measure, Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Anshul Garg, ordered the closure of all educational institutions, including schools, colleges, universities, and coaching centres across Kashmir on Thursday, 4th of September, 2025.”
The institutions had also remained closed on Wednesday due to incessant rains which posed a significant flood threat in the region.
While the water levels in the Jhelum River and its tributaries started receding since Thursday morning, some areas in Anantnag, Budgam, Kulgam, Pulwama, and Shopian districts were affected due to spillover of water at certain locations.
