Schools to Remain Closed in Meerut, Ghaziabad, Muzaffarnagar Due to Kanwar Yatra 2025

News India Live, Digital Desk: There is an important news in Uttar Pradesh, especially for school-going children and their parents living in districts of western UP. In view of the upcoming Kandar Yatra 2025, it has been decided to keep all schools in several districts including Meerut, Muzaffarnagar and Ghaziabad. The administration has taken this decision to ensure the safety of the devotees and to maintain the traffic smooth during the Kandar Yatra.

Every year, in the month of Sawan, lakhs of devotees go out on ‘Kavad Yatra’ to offer water to Shiva temples. During this time, a huge crowd of kanvadis gather on the main routes, which affects general traffic and life to a great extent. The number of kanvadis on the roads becomes so high that it becomes very difficult to get out school vehicles or private vehicles, which also raises questions on the safety of children.

The administration believes that keeping the schools closed during this period will not only ensure the safety of children, but will also reduce the pressure on travel routes and will be able to move forward. The order of this holiday includes all government and private schools, and it will remain effective until the peak of the Kavad Yatra is going on. This is an administrative step that has been taken in mind the security, convenience and sensitivity to large religious events.
