September 6: Holiday for Schools or Not?

September 6, 2024 

Although there is confusion about the date of Ganesh Chaturthi, whether it falls on September 6 (Friday) or September 7 (Saturday), many schools and educational institutions have declared a holiday for September 7, i.e., Saturday.

In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Vinayaka Chavithi is observed on September 7. The governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have declared a holiday for Vinayaka Chavithi on September 7.

However, heavy rains are forecasted for September 6, and the IMD has issued an alert for the Telugu states. Several parts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are expected to be affected.

In Andhra Pradesh, a new cyclone is predicted to hit, bringing heavy showers. Schools and colleges in Northen Andhra Pradesh (Uttar Andhra) are likely to get a holiday in the wake of Cyclone warning. Official confirmation from the state government and district collectors are awaited.

In Telangana, September 6 is not a holiday. However, it depends on the weather condition and heavy rains by the end of September 5.
