Schools and colleges in Chennai are closed on Monday, Nov. 2, as heavy rainfall warnings linked to Cyclone Murasu prompt precautionary holiday decisions.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) and related meteorological authorities issue alerts for intense to very heavy rainfall, and local administrations prepare for possible emergencies. NDTV reports that an orange alert is issued for Chennai and Tiruvallur, warning of very heavy rainfall over the next 24 hours, while Times of India frames the disruption as school closures in Chennai and Tiruvallur alongside broader district rain alerts and ongoing monitoring.
Mint adds a contrasting district-level detail: Chengalpattu reportedly keeps schools open while Chennai and Tiruvallur declare closures, indicating a staggered approach within the wider region as officials watch conditions. Overall, all outlets focus on weather-driven school cancellations or continuity tied to IMD-style warnings, with differences mainly in which districts are mentioned and how specific rainfall figures are presented.
