With the State receiving heavy rains for the last couple of days, the Telangana government has extended the holidays by another day - up to Friday - for all educational institutions.
Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Thursday directed Education Minister Sabhitha Indra Reddy to declare a holiday on Friday for all educational institutions in Telangana given the incessant rains.
The educational institutions were already closed on Wednesday and Thursday due to the rains. Given that Saturday is also a holiday for them for Muharram, this will be a 5-day weekend for students.
