All schools in Mathura to remain closed for two days on the occasion of Radhashtami, administration issues order

The festival of Radhashtami is celebrated with great enthusiasm in Mathura and Vrindavan. In view of this significant religious occasion, the district administration has decided to declare a two-day holiday for students and teachers. The Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) has issued a formal order regarding this matter.

According to the issued instructions, all schools in the district will remain closed on September 18 and September 19. This holiday will be effective for students up to class 12. The administration aims to ensure that students and their families can celebrate this religious festival peacefully.

This order applies to all educational institutions within the district. It includes government institutions as well as schools managed by private entities. The administration has clarified that no school will be permitted to remain open during these two days.

During Radhashtami, a massive influx of devotees is witnessed at the local level. Special decorations and religious rituals are organized in the temples of Mathura and Vrindavan. Considering the crowd and traffic management, the administration has taken the step of declaring a school holiday to ensure that children do not face any inconvenience in commuting.

Officials have directed all school managers to ensure strict compliance with this order. If any school is found open on these dates, departmental action may be taken against them.

Parents have also been advised to keep this holiday in mind regarding their children's studies. Following this notification issued by the school administration, excitement regarding the festival is being observed among the students.

Similar holidays have been declared by the Mathura administration from time to time during local fairs and festivals. This decision is considered important not only to respect religious sentiments but also from the perspective of ensuring safety and smooth traffic flow.
