The Tamil Nadu government has announced that schools and colleges in Chennai will be closed on December 7th, 2023 due to ongoing relief efforts in the flood-affected areas. This decision comes as the city continues to deal with the aftermath of the Mikjam Cyclone, which has already resulted in several days of closures earlier in the month.
The holiday extension is a response to the continued need for relief and recovery efforts in Chennai. The city has been working to provide assistance to those affected by the flooding and to repair infrastructure damaged by the cyclone. Given the ongoing challenges facing the city, it has been deemed necessary to extend the closure of schools and colleges in order to prioritize relief efforts.
This latest closure reflects the ongoing impact of natural disasters on communities in the region and the need for continued support and assistance. The Tamil Nadu government has urged residents to stay safe and to follow any advisories issued by local authorities.
As the city continues to navigate the aftermath of the cyclone and the flooding, the decision to close schools and colleges is a necessary step to ensure that relief efforts can continue unimpeded. The government and local authorities will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed.
