Over 70 government schools in Patna’s rural areas to remain closed till Aug 31 due to rising water levels in the Ganga
The Patna district administration has ordered the closure of 76 government schools in rural areas until August 31 due to the rising Ganga water levels. This measure ensures student and teacher safety. District Magistrates were recently granted authority to close schools in flood-prone areas. The order follows a recent incident where a teacher was swept away by strong currents.
