Nagpur: Education Officer (Secondary), Nagpur Zilla Parishad has cancelled the Rakshabandhan holiday which falls on August 11.
Notably, it is the Government-declared holiday given to schools every year so students and teachers are feeling disappointment due to this decision.
A letter issued by Ravindra Katolkar, Education Officer (Secondary) addressed to Head Master, Private Secondary School reads, “There are holidays on August 9, 11, 14, 15 and August 16. But this time we are celebrating 75th year of India’s Independence,”
It’s further adds, “The celebration began on August 9 and will end on August 15. August 9, August 14, August 15 and August 16 are the Government holidays so the office of Education can not interfere. The holiday of Rakshabandhan comes on August 11, is under the ambit of Education Officer so we have cancelled the holiday. It will be adjusted separately later on.”
