Pune: Lonavala Schools Closed on 25th and 26th July Due to Continuous Heavy Rainfall
Lonavala, 24th July 2024: Continuous heavy rainfall in Lonavala, similar to the rest of Pune district, has led to the closure of schools under the Lonavala Municipal Council (LMC) for Thursday, July 25, and Friday, July 26. This decision has been made to ensure the safety and well-being of students amid the ongoing severe weather conditions.
LMC CEO Ashok Sabale announced the closure, noting that the mountainous region frequently experiences heavy rains. While the monsoon season brings scenic beauty, it also poses challenges when the rain becomes excessive. The decision to close schools reflects the need to prioritize student safety. However, teachers and other staff are expected to report to work as usual.
In the last 24 hours, Lonavala has recorded 145 mm of rain, with no indication of the downpour letting up. The area has been rain-soaked for the past eight days, with no sunshine. The Government of Maharashtra has issued cautionary advisories, urging residents to avoid unnecessary travel during the heavy rains.
