Subject: Closure of All Government and Private Schools across Jammu Division Due to Inclement Weather Conditions
03-09-2025
On September 3, 2025, all government and private schools across the Jammu Division are closed due to inclement weather conditions, including incessant rainfall, landslides, and flood risks. ⛈️ The Directorate of School Education Jammu (DSEJ) has issued the order to ensure the safety of students and staff.
Context of the Closure
The closure is a continuation of previous weather-related school holidays that began earlier in the week. Heavy and continuous rainfall has caused widespread disruptions, including:
- Flooding and waterlogging in low-lying areas, making school premises unsuitable for classes.
- Landslides and mudslides, especially in the hilly parts of the region, which pose a significant threat to travel.
- Damage to road infrastructure, blocking routes and making it unsafe for students to commute.
The situation is being closely monitored by authorities, and further decisions regarding the reopening of schools will be announced once conditions stabilize. The DSEJ has advised schools to consider holding online classes for students wherever feasible.
