Due to this, schools in Noida and Greater Noida were closed today; classes will resume on Wednesday

All educational institutions in Noida and Greater Noida, including schools, colleges, and universities, will be closed on Tuesday because to the Guru Dronacharya Mela, according to an official announcement from the Gautam Buddh Nagar district government. Dharmveer Singh, the District Inspector of Schools (DIOS), released the formal announcement to this effect.

“Dankaur hosts the Guru Dronacharya Mela every year. The fair is significant historically. All educational institutions have been advised to stay closed on Tuesday as a result, according to Singh’s statement to PTI. The district magistrate has the authority to prescribe vacations on such occasions.

Closed Kindergarten through Grade 12 schools
The directive, he said, applies to all schools from kindergarten through Class 12 in all boards, as well as government and private institutions and universities, adding that regular courses would resume on Wednesday.

Due to the yearly fair conducted in Dankaur, the decision has been made to shut schools, institutions, and government buildings. Every school has been instructed to send a notice to the parents of the students in their care informing them of the vacation.

Schools must adhere to the rules strictly.
The directive is also applicable to all schools from preschool through class 12 across all boards, according to Singh, who also urged institutions to carefully follow it. This includes both public and private colleges.

Noida implemented Section 144
In order to preserve peace and harmony during approaching festivals and big public gatherings, the Uttar Pradesh police implemented Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) in Noida and Greater Noida earlier this month. Between September 6 and September 15, Section 144 will be in force, which will place restrictions on illegal assembly.

Religious activities like puja, namaz, processions, or any other religious event are not allowed in public areas or on highways at this period. However, in certain circumstances, people must request approval from the local area’s commissioner of police, additional commissioner of police, or deputy commissioner of police.

In advance of impending celebrations like Janmashtami on September 6-7, Chehallum on September 7, and the Dronacharya Mela in Greater Noida on September 12, Section 144 was implemented in these locations.

“In light of the above, it is possible that antisocial elements may disrupt the quiet. In addition to this, occasionally, the government, various commissions, councils, etc., organize various exams, programs, about which information is provided some time before the due date, and appropriate measures are also taken to conduct them safely,” claimed the police in a press release, as cited by PTI.

According to the announcement, demonstrations by different (political) party members, Indian farmer groups, and other demonstrators might now disrupt the tranquility.

Section 144: What Is It?

Unauthorized public gatherings, including religious and political processions, are prohibited under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The order also stipulated that no one may organize a procession with five or more participants, form a gathering of five or more people in a public area, or join one without the Commissioner of Police’s prior approval.
