Sitrang: Edu institutions in 3 divisions to remain closed today

All the educational institutions of Khulna, Barishal and Chittagong divisions will remain closed on Tuesday due to cyclone Sitrang.

The Ministry of Education has given instructions to use the educational institutions in the cyclone-affected areas as shelters, according to a press release of the education ministry.

The ministry said class rooms of the educational institutions which will be used as shelters will be closed until further orders.

It is to be noted that, the cyclonic storm "Sitrang" completed crossing Barishal-Chattogram coast near Bhola at midnight last night as well as weakened rapidly into a depression by giving precipitation and now lies over Dhaka-Cumilla-Brahmanbaria and adjoining area as a land depression.
