Bhadrak Administration Orders Emergency School Closures Amid Floods
The Bhadrak district administration has announced the immediate closure of all schools in flood‑affected blocks as rising waters continue to disrupt normal life.
In an official directive (Order No. 12167, dated September 29, 2026), the Collector and District Magistrate instructed that both academic and non‑academic activities be suspended until further notice.
The move aims to safeguard students and staff from potential risks posed by the flood situation.
Authorities have further directed schools to sanitise internal water sources before reopening, ensuring health and hygiene standards are met once conditions normalise.
Copies of the order have been circulated to Block Education Officers, District Education Officers, and headmasters for swift compliance.
Parents and residents are advised to stay alert and follow updates from local authorities as the situation evolves.
