Schools and colleges in Chennai, Tiruvallur and Kancheepuram will remain closed today due to heavy rains that continued late till morning.
In Vellore, holiday was declared only for schools even as managements have been asked to take suitable action to ensure students of Class XII attended the ongoing quarterly exams in these districts, officials said.
