Delhi's government-run morning and general schools will be closed on Monday for the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir. The education department's order aligns with a half-day closure of government offices, facilitating participation in the event. Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena approved the decision, with similar directives issued in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Goa. Tripura observes closures until 2:30 pm, while some states enforce bans on liquor and meat sales. The Centre mandates a half-day for its offices and PSU banks. Private sector banks remain open. The 'Pran Pratishtha' signifies a public holiday in several BJP-ruled states.
