Bengaluru: Heavy rains continued to pound various districts in southern states, including Karnataka and Kerala. Karnataka’s Udupi and Dakshina Kannada district administrations have decided to close all the educational institutions on Monday. The decision comes after a red alert was issued by the IMD for heavy to very heavy rainfall along the Karnataka coast.

Schools and colleges in Malappuram, Kannur, Kasaragod, Wayanad and Thrissur districts of Kerala have been declared a holiday on Monday due to heavy rains. IMD has also issued a red alert in Malappuram, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur and Kasaragod. Parents and students are confused as there is still no official announcement on whether schools will reopen on Tuesday (June 17) in rain-hit districts.
