The Story in Brief
All schools in Uttar Pradesh will close at 12:15 pm on Monday, August 10, due to the ongoing Kanwar Yatra and heavy pilgrim movement. In Muzaffarnagar, Ghaziabad and Meerut, all educational institutions from nursery to universities, government and private, will remain shut until August 12. The Shravan month started on July 30, 2026, with Shravan Shivratri on August 11. Pre-scheduled examinations will continue as per the existing timetable, news.abplive.com reports.
The Indian Opinion
The government has again chosen blanket school closures over measured crowd management. Whether the Kanwar Yatra genuinely requires shutting schools in three districts for four days is a test the administration should have passed by now. Parents in Ghaziabad and Meerut will want to know: was student safety the only factor, or was this a predictable over-correction to avoid any blame if something goes wrong? The number of traffic diversions and alternative pilgrimage routes actually deployed will tell us more than the circular ever does.
