Kalaburagi Schools Shut As Heavy Rain Triggers Orange Alert; Kalyana Karnataka Hit

In the wake of heavy rains in Kalaburagi district, the district administration has declared holidays for schools on September 27 and 28. An orange alert is currently in place in the district. The Kalyana Karnataka region — particularly Kalaburagi, Bidar, and Yadgir — witnessed intense rainfall on Friday due to a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal. The downpour caused damage to crops, roads, and other infrastructure.

According to ANI, Kalaburagi Deputy Director (Administration), Department of School Education, announced the two-day holiday as a precautionary measure. Officials said more than 10 km of the state highway in Kalaburagi has been damaged. The heavy rainfall is unusual for the region, which typically faces drought conditions each year.

Meanwhile, Kalaburagi MP Radhakrishna Doddamani announced that 2,500 food kits will be distributed to affected families in the district.
