Schools Closed: Heavy rain alert in many states of the country, schools closed from Himachal Pradesh to Jammu and Mumbai..
This time, the rainy season has come as a disaster not only for North India but also for many states of the country. At some places, it is raining continuously, while at other places, incidents like cloudbursts and landslides have made life difficult for the people. In hilly states like Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, rivers are in spate, roads have broken, and in many places, schools and colleges have had to be closed as a precaution. Heavy rains in the plains have created the problem of waterlogging.
The biggest challenge is that rain is not only an inconvenience but also causes fatal accidents. Roads are getting closed due to landslides and cloudbursts in the mountains, and passengers are getting stuck in traffic jams for hours. At the same time, rain in the plains has halted traffic, power supply has been affected, and children's studies have also been affected. On the other hand, the situation remains serious in states like Maharashtra and Karnataka. Schools have been closed in many areas, and the administration has issued a red alert and appealed to the people to stay at home.

The situation is most serious in Uttarakhand, Jammu, and Himachal Pradesh. Incidents of cloudburst and heavy landslides have been reported at many places.

Travel has also been affected due to rain, waterlogging, cloudbursts, and landslides.
Delhi, Haryana, and Punjab: Waterlogging and traffic jam
Heavy rains in Delhi, Haryana and Punjab have created the problem of waterlogging. Vehicles were stuck in traffic jams for hours on many roads in Delhi-NCR. Water entered homes and shops in cities like Noida, Gurugram, and Ludhiana. Due to this, studies in many schools have been affected. Today, there is news of the Yamuna water level rising. If the water level goes above the prescribed limit, then nearby schools may be closed.
Mumbai: Maya Nagari flooded
Continuous heavy rains in many areas of Mumbai have brought life to a standstill.

The Meteorological Department has issued a red alert for Mumbai and the surrounding districts. Also, schools are likely to remain closed for many days.
Impact in Karnataka and South India too
