Ghaziabad district in Uttar Pradesh closes schools up to Class 12 following heavy rainfall and resulting waterlogging. According to reports, all schools in the district remain closed on Thursday, covering students from nursery to Class 12. The decision is linked to heavy showers that begin late Wednesday night, which lead to significant waterlogging on several roads and raise safety concerns for students and commuters. Authorities indicate the closure is a precautionary step and that plans for reopening depend on ongoing weather conditions. Separate reporting also cites warnings from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) for thunderstorms in parts of Uttar Pradesh, including the possibility of lightning. The weather alert contributes to the rationale for keeping schools shut while conditions are reassessed. Further action, including whether schools reopen after Thursday, is contingent on how the rainfall and weather warnings evolve.
