School Closed: Why schools are shut today in Dehradun, WB, UP & others states; know here
Schools in Uttarakhand's Dehradun have been closed today (Monday) due to an orange alert issued by the meteorological department. The alert is issued across six districts of Uttarakhand. In response, official directives have been sent to district magistrates to stay vigilant and implement necessary safety measures. Additionally, Dehradun District Magistrate Savin Bansal has ordered the closure of all schools and Anganwadi centres for Classes 1 to 12 on Monday, citing the weather alert. Many schools in Kolkata have declared a holiday on July 21 (today) in anticipation of the Trinamool Congress's Martyrs' Day rally, which is expected to draw thousands of people. Schools like Loreto House, Loreto Convent Entally, St James' School, The Heritage School, Loreto Day School Sealdah, Loreto Day School Elliot Road, Loreto Day School Dharamtala, and Loreto Day School Bowbazar will remain closed. Following an official notification from the Telangana government, schools across Hyderabad, Secunderabad, and several surrounding districts has today observed a general holiday to mark the celebration of Bonalu 2025. In Himachal Pradesh, summer schools are scheduled to remain closed from July 12 to August 12, while schools in the Kullu district will observe their summer break slightly later, from July 20 to August 12. Winter schools across the state will be shut from August 8 to 12, and institutions classified as extreme summer schools will remain closed between August 3 and 12. In view of the Kanwar Yatra, several districts in western Uttar Pradesh—including Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Bareilly, Badaun, and Varanasi—have announced the temporary closure of all government and private schools, colleges, and Anganwadi centres from July 16 to 23. This measure aims to ensure public safety and ease traffic disruptions during the religious pilgrimage. The Kanwar Yatra, which spans a month, draws lakhs of Shiva devotees—known as Kanwariyas—who travel on foot carrying sacred water from the Ganga, with the highest footfall typically occurring around Shivratri on July 23. Anticipating congestion and law-and-order challenges along school routes, Meerut District Magistrate Dr. VK Singh has mandated the closure of all recognised institutions, including those affiliated with the UP Board, CBSE, and ICSE. Educational activities are expected to resume as usual on July 24. (with PTI inputs)

TMC Martyr's Day rally: Several schools in Kolkata declare holiday on July 21
Many schools in Kolkata declared a holiday on Monday in anticipation of the Trinamool Congress's Martyrs' Day rally, which is expected to draw thousands of people. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is expected to address the gathering at Esplanade around 1 pm, but people will arrive in the city early in the morning. The TMC has been organising the annual mega rally for the last 15 years outside Victoria House in Esplanade in the heart of Kolkata to commemorate the deaths of 13 people who were killed in police firing during a demonstration by the West Bengal Youth Congress, which was then led by Banerjee, on July 21, 1993. Loreto House, Loreto Convent Entally, St James' School, The Heritage School, Loreto Day School Sealdah, Loreto Day School Elliot Road, Loreto Day School Dharamtala, and Loreto Day School Bowbazar will remain closed. La Martiniere Schools Boys and Girls, Birla High School, Sushila Birla Girls' School, and Birla High School Mukundapur will hold online classes. South Point will have online classes up to Class 5. According to an official, Classes 6 and above have a parent-teacher meeting that ends by 11.30 am. According to some teachers, a decision will be made later on whether to hold classes on a Saturday to make up for the Monday classes. La Martiniere announced that due to the rally, all classes from the lower nursery to Class 12 will be conducted online. Additionally, the unit test for classes 6 to 12 that was originally scheduled for Monday will now take place on Tuesday. Parents have welcomed the decision to keep schools closed on Monday. In the past, it has frequently been observed that students arrive home around 4.30 pm or even later due to these traffic jams. Many children get restless when they have to wait for long periods on the bus. Debika Burman, whose daughter studies in Loreto House, said, 'It is a good decision because otherwise we also get very worried as to when she will reach home. It becomes very stressful for all.' Anandi Jain, whose son is a student at La Martiniere Boys, said that her son once got stuck in traffic for over three hours. 'I am happy with this decision because previously, once my son, when he was a child, had a traumatic experience of being stuck in traffic jam for hours, after that, I avoided sending him to school on this day.' The Calcutta High Court Friday directed that all processions heading to the TMC's rally at central Kolkata's Dharmatala on July 21 must reach the venue by 8 am or after 11 am to ensure the smooth flow of traffic through Central Kolkata during rush hour. On Thursday, Justice Tirthankar Ghosh, in a verbal observation, also urged the TMC to choose a different venue for the 'Martyrs' Day' rally from next year, such as Shahid Minar, the Brigade Parade Ground, or the Salt Lake Stadium.
