Authorities Exclude Tankpur and Banbasa from Weather-Related School Closures

In a nuanced approach to the yellow alert for Champaran, the district administration announced that schools in Tankpur and Banbasa will remain open on September 1, 2026. All other blocks will observe a holiday and shift to online teaching.

The decision stems from localized weather assessments indicating lower rainfall intensity in the two excluded zones. Nevertheless, the district disaster management team remains vigilant, ready to issue further directives if conditions change.

District Commissioner Manish Kumar instructed the Chief Education Officer to ensure that teachers in the exempted areas follow safety protocols while conducting regular classes. Parents have been advised to stay informed through official channels.

This targeted measure balances educational continuity with public safety across the varied topography of Champaran.
