Jammu: A catastrophic wave of relentless rainfall has plunged the Jammu region of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir into chaos, forcing the Directorate of School Education Jammu to shut schools till August 30.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, all schools across the region will remain closed until August 30 due to treacherous weather conditions that threaten the lives of students, teachers, and staff. August 31 is a Sunday, so all schools will remain closed by the end of this month.<\/p>\n

The region is on high alert, with parents gripped by fear and communities reeling from the devastating impact of nature\u2019s wrath. The deluge has unleashed a cascade of disasters across Jammu\u2019s diverse terrain.<\/p>\n

In the rugged hills and mountains, the threat of landslides, mudslides, and tumbling rocks\u2014known locally as \u201cshooting stones\u201d\u2014looms large, posing a deadly risk to anyone venturing near schools.<\/p>\n

Roads, battered and eroded by the torrential rains, have become death traps, with blockages and washouts making travel near impossible.<\/p>\n

The crisis has sparked an outcry from civil society, with parents, community leaders, and stakeholders flooding the administration with urgent pleas to keep schools closed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
