Kendrapara district administration has ordered the closure of all government and private schools from Classes 1 to 12 on Monday, July 27, following a red warning issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

The IMD has predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall due to a depression over the northwest Bay of Bengal, which is expected to intensify further.

Authorities have advised parents to keep children indoors and avoid waterlogged or low‑lying areas.

Emergency teams are on high alert to tackle possible flooding, traffic disruption, and reduced visibility.

The district administration has assured that precautionary measures are in place to safeguard residents during the downpour.
