Muzaffarnagar authorities ordered all schools and colleges to remain closed from August 3 to 10 to ensure safety and manage traffic during the Kanwar Yatra. Notably, the district lies along the busy Delhi-Haridwar National Highway (NH-58), a key route for pilgrims. This year's Kanwar Yatra began on July 30, marking the start of Sawan, and will conclude on August 11.
