Following heavy rainfall, District Magistrates in Lucknow, Sitapur, Sultanpur, and Ambedkar Nagar have directed that all schools across all education boards remain shut for the day. The move comes after days of non-stop downpours disrupting normal life across parts of the state.
In Lucknow, the District Inspector of Schools confirmed that even if students have already left for school in buses or vans, schools must inform parents and call them back home immediately.

Why So Much Rain? Weather Experts Explain
The monsoon trough line has shifted northwards and is currently passing through Shamli, Shahjahanpur, and Lucknow, according to the Amausi Weather Centre.
A cyclonic circulation and an incoming western disturbance are also fueling the showers. IMD scientist Atul Kumar Singh said similar weather will persist on Monday, but a slight decrease in intensity is expected from Tuesday, August 5.

Tragedy in UP: Bodies of 3 Missing Kids Found in Water-Filled Plot, Locals Erupt in Anger
By Deep Narayan Pandey | 4 August 2025 | 11:18 AM
A heartbreaking incident rocked Meerut this morning after the bodies of three missing children were discovered in a waterlogged vacant plot in the Sivalkhas area.
The discovery sparked outrage and protests, with grieving families and villagers surrounding the local police outpost and blocking roads to demand justice.
How It Unfolded
The three children—Shivansh, Ritik, and Manu—had mysteriously gone missing on Sunday morning from Sivalkhas under Jani Police Station limits. The families had already filed a kidnapping report and local police were actively searching for them.
However, on Monday morning, their lifeless bodies were found lying near the edge of a water-filled empty plot. One girl was critically injured when first found but died on the way to the hospital, police confirmed.
Public Outcry and Chaos
The tragic deaths triggered chaos outside Sival police outpost, where angry villagers surrounded officers and demanded a full investigation. Some even blocked the Meerut-Baghpat Road near the Jani Ganga Canal Bridge, disrupting traffic.
The victims’ families suspect foul play, claiming the children were murdered and their bodies dumped in the water.
Police Responds, Tensions Ease Slightly
Senior officers, including CO Sardhana and SP Rural, arrived at the scene with reinforcements and tried to calm the situation. After hours of negotiation, local leader Gulzar Chauhan and SHO Mahesh Rathore convinced the families to allow postmortem examinations.
The families alleged that this wasn’t the first such incident in the area. “Several children have died under suspicious circumstances in our town before, but no strong action was ever taken,” one relative said.
The police have promised a full investigation and strict action, but the community remains shaken.
