School Holiday: Several UP, MP Schools To Remain Closed On July 23 Due To Sawan Shivratri
Last Updated: School Holiday: The decision to close schools on Sawan Shivratri and Mondays is based on expected crowding, traffic jams, and security concerns during the Kanwar Yatra. The month of Sawan is considered a sacred period dedicated to Lord Shiva. In 2025, Sawan commenced on July 11 and will continue until August 9. During this time, Mondays are significant, and Sawan Shivratri holds particular importance. Due to anticipated traffic disruptions caused by crowds at temples and the Kanwar Yatra, many schools in UP and MP have declared holidays. This year, Sawan Shivratri will be celebrated on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. This day holds great religious significance. To manage the heavy crowd and traffic on Kanwar Yatra and Shivratri, schools and colleges in many North Indian states will remain closed. — In Meerut and Muzaffarnagar, all schools and colleges will be closed till tomorrow, July 23, with strict penalties for violations of the order. — In Bareilly, schools and colleges within a 5 km radius of the Delhi-Badaun road will be closed on every Monday of Sawan (July 14, 21, 28 and August 4). — In Badaun, schools from class 1 to 8 will be on holiday on Saturdays and Mondays (July 19-21, July 26-28, August 2-4), with mandatory attendance for teachers. — In Varanasi, schools will close every Monday of Sawan, with classes held on Sundays. — In Jabalpur, a school holiday is declared on July 21. — In Ujjain, schools will close every Monday from July 14 to August 11, with compensatory classes held on Sundays, due to the crowds at Mahakaleshwar temple. — In Noida, most schools in Noida and Ghaziabad of Delhi-NCR will be closed for Sawan Shivratri on July 23, 2025. Sawan Shivratri is a day for worshipping Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati in Hinduism. Devotees offer water, Belpatra, milk, and other items to the Shivling. During the Kanwar Yatra, millions of devotees bring Gangajal from Haridwar, Gangotri, and other pilgrimage sites to offer in Shiva temples. This Yatra leads to congestion and traffic jams, making it difficult for children to commute to schools, hence the closures in sensitive areas. The decision to close schools on Sawan Shivratri and Mondays is based on expected crowding, traffic jams, and security concerns during the Kanwar Yatra. With no-vehicle zones in place in many areas, school buses and children's movement might be affected. Some schools may conduct online classes, and parents are advised to check the school's official notice for updates. view comments First Published: July 22, 2025, 14:10 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

New Delhi: To deal with the rush of Kanwariyas on the eve of Shiv Ratri, Delhi Traffic Police on Tuesday said restrictions will be imposed on the movement of buses and commercial vehicles in the national capital from 9 am to 12 midnight. It also issued a traffic advisory informing people about road closures and alternative routes. A large number of devotees are expected to visit the Hanuman Mandir in the Yamuna Bazar area and this could affect traffic. Congestion is likely along Ring Road, particularly on Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Yudhister Setu and Boulevard Road, the advisory stated. To ensure smooth traffic management and public safety, restrictions will be imposed on the movement of buses and commercial vehicles from 9 am to 12 midnight, it read. Vehicular movement on Yudhister Setu from Tis Hazari to Shahdara will be restricted for all buses and commercial vehicles. On Boulevard Road, the movement of commercial vehicles will not be allowed from ISBT Kashmiri Gate towards Tis Hazari. Their movement will also be prohibited on Lothian Road from GPO Chowk to ISBT Kashmiri Gate during the specified hours, the advisory said. To regulate the flow of traffic, diversions will be put in place at key locations, including Kashmiri Gate metro station's gate no. 5 on Boulevard Road near the ascending foot of Yudhister Setu, near the out gate of ISBT Kashmiri Gate on Ring Road, and at GPO Chowk, it said. These diversions are intended to redirect commercial vehicles away from the heavily congested areas and towards alternative routes, it added. Traffic police said commercial vehicles coming from the Hanuman Mandir side via Ring Road and headed towards Tis Hazari will be diverted from the out gate of ISBT Kashmiri Gate. These vehicles will take a longer route via Ring Road, Yamuna Marg, Raj Niwas Marg, Rajpur Road, Dr. Karnwal Road and reach Baraf Khana Chowk, from where they can continue towards their destinations, they said. Buses and commercial vehicles coming from the Tis Hazari side and moving towards Yudhister Setu will also be rerouted, the advisory said. They will be diverted from Kashmiri Gate metro station's gate no. 5 and redirected to Ring Road, from where they will take a left turn, make a U-turn near monastery and continue on Ring Road past Hanuman Mandir. From there, they will proceed towards Outer Ring Road, Akshardham Mandir and then NH-24, it said.
