Flooding and waterlogging interrupted classes at 432 schools in Odisha's Jajpur and Bhadrak districts on September 28. Reports citing district orders said the affected institutions included 91 schools in Jajpur and 341 in Bhadrak.

Original factual graphic summarising the dated report. It is not a photograph of an incident. Dated closure orders. Check current school notices.

Jajpur's suspension covered selected government, aided and private schools, while other schools were to function normally. Buildings where teaching was suspended were to remain available for rescue and rehabilitation when needed. In Bhadrak, closures affected six blocks: Dhamnagar, Bhadrak, Bhandaripokhari, Tihidi, Basudevpur and Chandbali.

Authorities asked families and staff to follow official notices as reopening would depend on local flood conditions. The reported orders applied to September 28. They should not be read as confirmation that every school in either district remains closed on subsequent days; parents should check their school's latest notice before making travel or attendance plans.
