Gurugram Sets School Safety Measures Amid Waterlogging Crisis
Gurugram schools are taking extra steps because some roads are filled with water.
School buses should avoid routes that are waterlogged.
Schools should find safer routes whenever they can.
If there is no safe route, children will stay inside the school.
Staff members will supervise them.
Parents will be told immediately if their children must remain at school.
When heavy rain is falling, students may leave in groups instead of all at once.
The timing of departure will depend on how safe the roads are.
Schools have been told not to send buses through waterlogged routes.
Safer alternative routes should be used wherever possible.
If no safe route is available, students should remain at school under staff supervision.
