Educational Institutions In Kashmir Shut For 2nd Day Due To Flood-Like Situation

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.

Flood-like situation after heavy rains in three Marathwada districts

“It was like a cloud burst in some of these areas,” a revenue official said. The two dams were almost full, and water discharge was underway from them due to continuous inflow, he added.

Javlala and Ramoda areas in the catchment of the Majalgaon dam received 160 mm and 120 mm of rainfall, respectively, since Monday night, the official reported. Similarly, the areas of Gangapur (46 mm), Paithan (92 mm), and Bhendala (52 mm) in the catchment area of the Jayakwadi dam also recorded rainfall.

As a result, water discharge from the Jayakwadi and Majalgaon dams into the Godavari river reached 1.03 lakh cusec (cubic feet per second) and 1.15 lakh cusec, respectively, on Tuesday morning.

Moreover, excess rainfall was recorded in Ghansawangi and Ambad talukas of Jalna, as well as Gevrai taluka in Beed. This led to swelling of the Godavari river and caused a flood-like situation in several villages across Chhatrapati Sambajinagar, Jalna, and Beed districts.
