Schools in Punjab have been shut down for the past 11 days as the state is witnessing one of the worst floods in decades. While no rainfall in past 2 days gave a glimmer of hope to people as the water level started to decrease, IMD on Saturday morning put 12 districts of Punjab and even the Tricity- Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula on moderate rainfall alert.
Now, the question arises whether Punjab School Holidays extend beyond September 7 or not? Continue reading below to know the answer-
Well, it depends the IMD's alert which is yet to come for the coming days. However, it is highly unlikely that schools will be opened in districts that are worst affected by floods as water level is still in the process of cutting down.
However, since, there were no rainfall in the past two days i.e. on Thursday and Friday, it is being assumed schools will be opened in districts that are now normal.
It is pertinent to mention here that, the schools of the state are slated to open on September 8, but in view of the disastrous conditions prevailing in Punjab, the holidays can be extended again because the schools that have been affected by the floods are still completely filled with water and where the water has receded, there is silt.
