Flooding delays reopening of 40 schools at Kuttanad in Alappuzha district

Waterlogging continues at premises of several schools in the region

Ever since the State Government announced that schools would reopen from November 1, Anusree P., a Class X student of Government High School at Kuppapuram in Kainakary grama panchayat in Kuttanad, was eagerly awaiting to mingle with friends and take part in school activities after a long hiatus.

While children, some with smiles on their faces and others crying, entered classrooms across the State on Monday, hundreds of students like Anusree in different parts of flood-hit Kuttanad in Alappuzha have to wait longer to experience the joy of being back to school.
