The statement included the following: "Due to the excessive rainfall affecting some parts of our province, and considering potential transportation issues caused by flooding in our rural neighborhoods and damage to the road network, education and training have been suspended for one day on Thursday, March 26, 2026, in all schools located in the rural neighborhoods of our Haliliye, Eyyübiye, Ceylanpınar, and Viranşehir districts."

According to the latest forecasts from meteorological authorities, rainfall is expected to continue intermittently across the city for some time.
