While the teachers and students waited for the rains to stop to return home, there was no let-up in the downpour, resulting in flooding in the nearby stream and making the school appear like an island. The teachers had a tough time keeping the children inside their classrooms.
The Belavatagi panchayat officials rushed to the spot to make arrangements for the safety of the children and supply food and water for them.
