The Ghaziabad district administration has ordered all schools and educational institutions, covering classes 1 to 12, to remain closed from August 4 to August 12, 2026, during the Kanwar Yatra.
The decision applies to government, non-government and private schools across all boards, including CBSE, ICSE and the UP Board.
The administration cited the need to keep traffic moving smoothly, as lakhs of Kanwariyas pass through Ghaziabad and Delhi-NCR routes during Sawan, with major diversions on highways.
It also prioritised the safety of young children, noting that school buses and students' daily travel would face serious difficulties and safety concerns.

Whether institutions violating the closure order face the strict action the administration has warned of
Any extension or revision of the closure if Kanwar Yatra crowds or route diversions change
Possible similar closure orders in other Delhi-NCR districts along the Kanwar routes
