Uttar Pradesh Districts Close Schools Temporarily Amid Kanwar Yatra Pilgrimage
Several districts in Uttar Pradesh, including Kasganj, Muzaffarnagar, Ghaziabad, and Meerut, have ordered temporary closures of schools and colleges during the Kanwar Yatra pilgrimage to ensure student safety and manage heavy traffic. Closures vary by district, with Kasganj schools closed on specific days in July, while Ghaziabad, Meerut, and Muzaffarnagar have suspended classes from early to mid-August. Examinations scheduled before the closures will proceed as planned, and some institutions may offer online classes during this period. Authorities emphasize compliance to facilitate smooth pilgrimage movement and public safety.
