Why Schools Closed in Prayagraj(Uttar Pradesh)?

Prayagraj: The splendor of Chhath Puja has also spread across Uttar Pradesh, with all schools up to 12th grade closed tomorrow in these districts.

The District Magistrate of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, has issued an order to close all schools tomorrow, October 28, 2025, in connection with Chhath Puja.

Chhath Puja is primarily celebrated in Bihar, Purvanchal (Eastern Uttar Pradesh), and Jharkhand. Chhath Puja is also visible in many other states, including Delhi and West Bengal. A major and important administrative decision has been made regarding the grand festival of Chhath Puja in Prayagraj, the land of confluence and faith. Keeping in mind the honor of this festival and public safety, the District Magistrate of Prayagraj has declared a holiday for all schools in the city on October 28, 2025.

The government holiday for Chhath Puja provides not only students but also their families with the opportunity to participate in the preparations and rituals of the festival. Chhath Puja is celebrated on rivers and ghats (Chhath Puja 2025 Holiday). Prayagraj is the confluence of the Ganga and Yamuna. Therefore, it is natural for large crowds of devotees to gather here. Therefore, protecting children from crowds and traffic congestion while commuting to and from school, as well as ensuring their safety, becomes the administration’s top priority.

All schools closed in Prayagraj on 28 Oct

This order by the Prayagraj District Magistrate applies to all government, non-government, and private schools up to grade 12. Chhath Puja is an integral part of North Indian culture, in which the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya are worshipped. This festival is directly linked to family well-being and health, and children’s participation is crucial. Granting a holiday on this special occasion fulfills this socio-cultural responsibility.

Safety is also important.

In Prayagraj, large crowds gather at the ghats on the banks of the Ganga and Yamuna, causing traffic jams on the roads. Keeping schools open during the special occasion of Chhath Puja poses difficulties for vehicles transporting children. The Prayagraj District Magistrate’s order will reduce traffic congestion and ensure the safety of children. This order applies to all schools from pre-primary to grade 12. This means that everyone, from young children to intermediate students, will receive a holiday.

Tomorrow will also be a public holiday in several districts of Uttar Pradesh, including Lucknow and Gorakhpur.
