Monsoon downpours close schools across 4 states, metros mostly open
Monsoon downpours have led to school closures in several districts of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Kerala, and Karnataka.
Local officials made the call over concerns about waterlogging, floods, and landslides.
Meanwhile, big cities like Delhi-NCR and Mumbai-Pune are mostly keeping schools open unless individual institutions announce otherwise.

Uttarakhand has suspended both government and private classes, including Anganwadis, in Dehradun, Udham Singh Nagar, and Nainital after an orange alert from the weather department.
Kerala has closed schools and colleges in Wayanad, Kozhikode, and Malappuram due to flood risks.
