Heavy rains caused by Cyclone Ditwah have severely disrupted normal life in India’s southeastern coastal areas.

Roads are flooded due to the rains, prompting parents to request a school and college holiday. It is believed that the government may decide to close schools for the next week due to the current situation.
Teachers’ strike in Maharashtra
A large number of teaching and non-teaching staff in Maharashtra are on strike, directly impacting the academic schedule of schools. Of the approximately 25,000 schools in the state, approximately 18,000 schools in grades 9 and 10 have completely suspended classes. The greatest impact is being felt in the Marathwada region, where many schools have not opened for several days. Mumbai has seen less impact, but if the disruption continues, schools in other districts may remain closed until next week.
However, the government has warned striking employees and teachers that one day’s salary will be deducted for each day they remain absent. This statement has drawn strong reactions from unions, with representatives stating that the protests will continue until their demands are met.
