Parents Demand Holidays For Children Amid Rain Alert in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: Parents of school students started demanding holidays for educational institutions after IMD-Hyderabad issued a red alert for Telangana due to the forecast of very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall in various districts of the state for three days.

Speaking to the media, Nausheen, a resident of Hyderabad, whose daughter studies in nursery standard at a school in Attapur, said that children, especially those at the primary level, face a lot of difficulties while traveling to and from schools during rainfall.

Many other parents also took to their Twitter accounts to express their anger and raise their demand for holidays for schools in Hyderabad and other districts of Telangana. One of them wrote, ‘Despite Red alert in Hyderabad, why are schools functioning today? Are the schools and buses equipped with rain protectors or what? Are you expecting some incident, then only to react??’

Another user on social media wrote, ‘@SabithaindraTRS

Hi, mam,

There is a prediction of heavy rains in Hyderabad. Is there any chance of declaring a holiday tomorrow for schools instead of troubling children in the rain?’
