Jalandhar’s streets will light up with a big Nagar Kirtan parade on November 22, 2025 - this marks 350 years since Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji gave his life. Because crowds are expected, officials decided schools and colleges under the municipal area should shut early that day. Instead of running full time, they’ll let out by noon so everyone can take part without hassle. This includes private and public institutions alike, giving students, teachers, and locals space to engage peacefully in the observance.
The local officials said schools and colleges - both public and private - in Jalandhar city will close at noon. While some classes might start early, others could skip entirely. Since the municipal body oversees these institutions, its decision applies across the board. Though not a full break, students still get an early release. Because of this move, parents may need to adjust pickups or plans.
The move from the Deputy Commissioner's team focuses on helping young people along with residents join without hassle, considering the big crowds likely to show up for this key Sikh celebration. School leaders got official word about taking a day off, giving teachers and students more room to take part in the traditional street procession.
