Bihar government cancels Chhath Puja holiday

Bihar School Holiday Cancelled! The Bihar government has canceled the leaves of teachers and headmasters in the government-run schools ahead of the Chhath Puja celebrations. The Nitish Kumar-led government in Bihar has issued an official order to cancel the leaves of teachers and headmasters in the government-run schools. The order released by Additional Chief Secretary CS KK Pathak has dropped a bombshell, declaring the cancellation of leaves for all government school teachers until November 21.

With the Chhath Puja slated to take place between November 19 and November 20, the decision to curtail leaves has sparked discontent among government school teachers. The decision taken to ensure the smooth functioning of educational institutions, has triggered resentment within the teaching community.

The District Education Department, responding to the order from the Additional Chief Secretary, has issued a directive to all school principals. They are instructed to ensure the presence of school staff, particularly headmasters and teachers, in their respective institutions from November 13 to November 21. During this period, headmasters are expected to engage in developmental activities, while teachers will actively contribute to their schools.
