Uttar Pradesh has declared a holiday in several districts on Saturday, 10 October, on the occasion of Pitru Visarjan. The holiday applies to schools run by the UP Basic Education Council, with classes 1 to 8 remaining closed.

District basic education officers have issued official orders based on instructions from the secretary of the UP Basic Education Council in Prayagraj. The decision was made to respect religious traditions and ensure no inconvenience to students and teachers.
The holiday covers only basic education council schools, leaving other boards and private institutions unaffected. The order was issued at the district level, meaning parents must confirm with local authorities. No further notification on reopening or alternative arrangements has been released.
