Following a consecutive decrease in the water level of the Yamuna river, there was a slight rise in water levels due to rainfall in certain parts of Delhi.

Considering the recent increase in water levels on Monday, there is a possibility that schools may also remain closed on July 19, 2023. However, no official confirmation has been provided by the authorities. Students are advised to stay updated on the situation or wait for official communication from their respective schools.
