Chandigarh: The Jalandhar administration has made a significant decision to mark the occasion of Valmiki Jayanti. The administration has issued an order for the closure of schools, colleges, and ITIs (Industrial Training Institutes) on October 27. Notably, the initial order had indicated that educational institutions would be closed only until 2 pm, but a revised directive issued on Thursday now mandates a full-day closure.

With this in mind, the administrative decision to keep educational institutions closed for the entire day was made.
