Bhubaneswar, July 2 -- Schools across Odisha's Kandhamal district will remain closed for two days, on July 2 and 3, for students up to Class 12. The District Collector issued the order in view of the prevailing heavy rainfall across the district.

The decision was taken as the district has been experiencing intense and persistent rainfall over the past few days. The temporary closure was announced as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of students amid the prevailing weather conditions.
