Delhi will observe a public holiday on November 25 to mark Guru Tegh Bahadur Shaheedi Diwas, and all schools in the capital will remain closed for the day.

The Delhi government announced that the 350th Shaheedi Diwas of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib, revered for his supreme sacrifice in the defence of religious freedom—will be observed as a public holiday this year. Sharing the update on X, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta wrote that the day honours the Guru’s enduring message of courage, compassion and the right to practice one’s faith.

With the declaration of the holiday, all schools, government offices and



public institutions across Delhi will remain shut on Tuesday.

In Uttar Pradesh, the government has revised its Shaheedi Diwas holiday from November 24 to November 25, 2025. According to the updated order issued by the General Administration Department, the earlier date has been corrected, and all state government offices and schools will follow the new schedule.

Schools in Noida and Ghaziabad are expected to issue formal closure notices soon. Educational institutions across NCR including Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad and adjoining regions—are likely to remain closed on Tuesday in observance of the day.
