Schools across several states are expected to remain closed today for the Muharram public holiday. The closure is likely to affect educational institutions in 15 states and Union Territories, while banks and government offices may also remain shut in many regions. As Muharram falls on a Friday, some students could receive a three-day weekend where Saturday classes are not held. Parents and students should confirm holiday schedules through official school and state education department notifications.
