Kanwar Yatra 2025: Schools and colleges are going to remain closed in UP due to Kanwar Yatra. The UP government has made this announcement to avoid any kind of crowd in the Kanwar Yatra.
Schools in UP will remain closed from July 16 to July 23, 2025. All schools, colleges and educational institutions have been ordered to remain closed in Meerut and Muzaffarnagar districts of Uttar Pradesh. This decision has been taken in view of the heavy crowd and traffic system during the Kanwar Yatra.
All schools will remain closed from 16 to 23 July
Meerut District Magistrate VK Singh said that during this time there is a large movement of Kanwar pilgrims, which can cause traffic disruption and can also endanger the safety of students. Therefore, it has been decided to keep all schools closed temporarily. All schools will now reopen on July 24.
All schools will remain closed in 2 districts of UP
Similarly, in Muzaffarnagar too, District Magistrate Umesh Mishra has issued an order that government and private schools, primary and secondary schools, degree colleges, and technical institutes will all remain closed from July 16 to 23. District School Inspector (DIOS) Rajesh Kumar said that all schools affiliated to UP Board, CBSE and ICSE have been informed about this. He warned that if any school is found violating this order, strict action will be taken against it.
Schools will remain closed on Monday in these districts
Apart from this, the Bareilly district administration has announced to keep schools closed on all four Mondays of the month of Sawan. This rule will apply to all CBSE, ICSE, UP Board and technical institutions falling within a radius of 5 kilometers from Delhi Road and Badaun Road.
In Badaun district too, a decision has been taken to keep primary schools from class 1 to 8 closed every Saturday and Monday during the month of Sawan.
