Punjab: All schools across the state to remain shut from August 27-30 amid heavy rainfall

Punjab schools will be closed from August 27-30 due to heavy rain forecasts and flooding. The Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi rivers are overflowing, impacting villages and farmland. Surplus water released from dams is worsening the situation, prompting the government to assess damages to crops and infrastructure, with more rain expected.
