University of Mumbai Postpones July 6 Exams 'Weather Alert'

New dates for the exams will be announced soon. This comes as the city has been battered by incessant rains and waterlogged areas in the last few days. The university emphasised that the decision was taken while keeping the students' safety in mind. 

Earlier, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) also announced that all government, private and civic body-run



schools and colleges in Mumbai will remain closed today after the IMD issued an 'orange alert' forecasting heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds. 

The BMC, however, clarified that government and private offices will function as usual. Thane District Collector Shrikrishnath Panchal also announced that the Anganwadis, Balwadis, primary schools, and secondary schools will remain shut in the district tomorrow. 

Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) also announced the closing of all schools on Monday for the safety of students amid incessant rain.
