'ഉറങ്ങിപ്പോയോ'; പല ജില്ലകളിലും അവധി പ്രഖ്യാപിച്ചത് രാവിലെ, ജില്ലാ കളക്ടർമാരുടെ പേജുകളിൽ രൂക്ഷവിമർശനം, കമന്റ് ബോക്സ് പൂട്ടി കോഴിക്കോട് കളക്ടർ

According to Asianet News, several district collectors in the Indian state of Kerala faced significant public criticism following the late announcement of school and college holidays due to severe weather conditions. The holidays were declared on Saturday morning in response to ongoing heavy rainfall warnings, leaving many students and parents frustrated by the short notice.

The timing of the announcements, which occurred on the morning of the expected closure, prompted a wave of negative feedback on official social media channels. The report notes that the Kozhikode District Collector's office, in particular, opted to disable the comment section on their official page to manage the influx of complaints and criticism from the public.

Local administrative authorities frequently issue such alerts during the monsoon season to ensure student safety amidst potential flooding and landslides. However, the delay in communication has sparked a broader debate regarding the efficiency of the district-level decision-making process and the necessity for more timely alerts to avoid public inconvenience. As of now, there has been no official statement from the state government regarding a change in the protocol for future weather-related holiday declarations.
