Public Holiday Reminder: Muharram Observed Tomorrow, July 17th Shivira July Muharram Holiday 

Dear Community Members,

This is a formal reminder that tomorrow, July 17th, is a public holiday in observance of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. As such, many schools and government offices across India will be closed.

The observance of Muharram varies by region, with some areas focusing on remembrance and reflection, while others engage in processions and mourning rituals. The tenth day of Muharram, known as Ashura, commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad.

Please take note of the following:

School Closures: The majority of schools in India will not be operational on July 17th.

Government Office Closures: Numerous government offices will also be closed on this day.

Bank Closures: Both public and private sector banks are anticipated to be closed in most regions.

Traffic Disruptions: Expect potential traffic disruptions due to large processions and prayer meetings, especially in areas with significant Muslim populations.

We advise you to check with your local authorities or school boards for specific details regarding closures and arrangements in your locality.
