Manipur schools to remain closed till Friday

The Directorate of Education Schools, Manipur, has declared three days of holiday in all schools in the state. According to the orders, all schools, including government, state government-aided, and private unaided schools within the state, will be temporarily closed on September 27 and 29. Students and parents have been advised to contact the respective



school and administration for details.

Thursday (September 27) is a public holiday in the state on the occasion of Eid-e-Milad, the birth anniversary of Prophet Mohammad.

The reason for the closure is not stated in the official notice, but speculations suggest that it is because of the continuing violence in Manipur.
