In light of the recent severe rain, the Noida district administration has now mandated that all local schools stay closed today, July 26. According to the Gautam Buddh Nagar district administration, all schools in Noida and Greater Noida will be closed on Wednesday owing to heavy rainfall and flooding. Noida schools have been closed today as a result of the persistent rain that the area has been experiencing since Tuesday.
