In wake of the incessant rains across various parts of Mysuru district, the district administration has extended the holiday for anganwadis to Tuesday. The centres were initially closed on Monday as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of children.

In an official order, Deputy Commissioner G. Lakshmikanth Reddy on Monday stated that the decision to extend the closure was taken owing to continued rains.

Normal life in the district remains affected, with continuous rain lashing the region since Sunday. Several areas were waterlogged.
