The District Collectors of Kozhikode, Kannur, and Wayanad have declared holiday for all educational institutions, including professional colleges and Anganwadis, on Monday owing to heavy rain.
However, the holiday is not applicable to pre-scheduled examinations. A yellow alert has been declared in both the districts, besides Kannur, Malappuram, and Kasaragod in the coming few days during which intermittent heavy showers are expected.
The Kozhikode Collector has asked parents to make sure that children stay indoors during the holiday and refrain from going near water sources.
