All schools and government offices across Punjab will remain closed on September 28 in observance of Bhagat Singh’s birth anniversary.
The Punjab government has issued an official notice that every school and government office in the state will be closed on 28 September. The closure is to mark the birth anniversary of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, a revered figure in India's independence movement.
Bhagat Singh, who was born on 28 September 1907, is celebrated nationwide for his revolutionary activities against British colonial rule. His legacy is taught in schools and commemorated through various cultural programs each year.
The holiday will affect academic calendars and routine administrative work, with classes and offices resuming the following day. Essential services such as hospitals, police, and emergency response units will continue to operate as usual.
Parents and students have been advised to plan accordingly, and the education department will issue guidance on any adjustments to examinations or assessments that may be impacted by the one‑day break.
