The district administration has ordered special measures to ensure the safety of schoolchildren amid waterlogging and traffic disruptions caused by heavy monsoon rain. District Disaster Management Authority chairman and Deputy Commissioner Uttam Singh held an inter-departmental meeting on Tuesday after school buses faced difficulties in some areas following heavy rain on Monday. The traffic police have been directed to share real-time information on waterlogging along school routes with schools. On rainy days or during weather warnings, reports will be issued at 5.30 a.m., 10.30 a.m. and 12.30 p.m. Flash updates must be issued within 30 minutes in case of heavy rain or sudden route blockages. Schools have been directed to avoid waterlogged routes. If no safe route is available, students must be kept on the school premises. During heavy rain, students will be dispersed in phases depending on waterlogging. Traffic personnel, tow vehicles and PCR vehicles will be deployed at sensitive locations along school bus routes. Additional Haryana Roadways buses will be kept on standby during rain or weather warnings. Education officials have also been asked to create a WhatsApp broadcast group and bulk SMS/email list covering school heads and transport in-charges. Published - August 25, 2026 11:00 pm IST
