Dehradun School Holiday: 20 Schools To Remain Closed On Monday Due To President Murmu’s Visit

The Uttarakhand District Administration has declared a holiday in 20 schools on Monday due to the arrival of President Droupadi Murmu in Dehradun, in light of traffic diversions and security measures. All of these private schools are located along the route of the President's convoy. 

Since managing traffic outside these schools during the President's journey by road could pose a significant challenge, Senior Superintendent of Police Ajay Singh had requested District Magistrate Savin Bansal to declare a holiday for some schools.
