State-wise holiday details
Uttar Pradesh
As we all know, the last phase of Kavad Yatra has started in Uttar Pradesh. On the last day of Kavad Yatra i.e. on July 23, lakhs of devotees will reach the end of the month of Shravan with Gangajal, due to which there is a possibility of heavy traffic and crowd.

After the holiday, they are getting late to reach home due to traffic. At the same time, children are not able to reach school on time. Apart from this, children are facing problems due to heavy crowd around the school gate. Parents are also noticing a lot of trouble.
Along with the children, teachers studying in the school are also facing traffic problems. In such a situation, decisions have been taken to keep schools closed till July 23 in Ghaziabad, Meerut and Muzaffar.
