School Holiday on 11 November 2025 (Tuesday): Schools Closed Tomorrow in THESE States, Check Details Here

School Holiday 11th November 2025: As India enters the second week of November 2025, most schools across the country have resumed regular classes following the Diwali and Chhath Puja breaks and weather-related closures. However, several states and districts will still remain on holiday on Tuesday, 11 November 2025, due to a combination of election duties, heavy rainfall, and local festivals. Education departments and district administrations across these regions are urging parents and students to check official notifications before assuming classes are on. According to a latest update, schools in some districts will be shut selectively, even as large parts of the country operate normally. 

Delhi Bom Blast: Schools May Be Closed After Blast Near Red Fort 

A powerful explosion near the Red Fort (Lal Qila) Metro Station Gate 1 in central Delhi has triggered a major security alert across Delhi, NCR, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Several vehicles caught fire in the blast, and multiple casualties have been reported. The area around Red Fort and nearby metro stations has been sealed, and police along with NDRF teams are investigating the cause.

Adding to the tension, a large cache of bomb-making materials, including nearly 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate, detonators, and wires, has been recovered from Faridabad, suggesting the existence of a wider terror network operating in the Delhi-NCR region. Due to these back-to-back security incidents, school authorities are considering temporary closures or early dismissals in affected areas.

Police have heightened patrolling across central Delhi, border regions of Haryana, and western UP, with all major schools and institutions placed on high alert. Parents and students are advised to remain cautious, follow school notifications closely, and stay ready for sudden shifts to online or remote classes if ordered by authorities.

Bomb Blast in Delhi: School Alert Delhi-NCR and Safety Status

Why this Bomb Blast Impacts on children & families?

• The blast near Red Fort occurred in a major metro station zone, increasing risk to commuters and students travelling to and from school.

• The Faridabad seizure reportedly involves a “white-collar terror ecosystem” of radicalised professionals planning large-scale attacks, raising concerns for the safety of the entire NCR region.

• Parents may keep children home or opt for online lessons if schools announce closure, so staying updated with school notifications is crucial.

• Schools may delay reopening, shift to remote learning, or adjust schedules until the security situation stabilises.

• Delhi-NCR is under high security alert after the Red Fort blast and the Faridabad explosives bust. Schools may close temporarily or switch to online classes to ensure student safety. Police and disaster response teams are deployed across the city and nearby states. Parents should check school updates regularly and keep children indoors unless necessary.

• Authorities are urging citizens to stay calm but vigilant until official clearance.

What parents and students should do?

• Regularly check official school communications (SMS, WhatsApp, email) for closure notices or alternate plans.

• Avoid the Red Fort and central Delhi area temporarily, and stay alert to local police instructions and Metro updates.

• Prepare for a switch to online classes to ensure your device, internet connection and login credentials are ready.

• Talk calmly with younger children about the situation reassuring them that adult authorities are taking steps to keep everyone safe.

With the blast near the Red Fort and a major bomb-making materials bust in Faridabad, the security alert across Delhi-NCR has caused many schools to weigh closures or contingency plans. Students and parents should stay informed, follow official updates, and be prepared for changes in school schedule and commuting.

Why Are Some Schools Closed on 11 November 2025 ?

In specific states, three major reasons account for the continued holiday status: 

(1) by-elections or assembly elections where schools are used as polling centres, 

(2) residual heavy rainfall or weather alerts, and 

(3) localised festivals or administrative holidays. For example, in Jubilee Hills (a constituency in Telangana) , by-polling has resulted in the government declaring schools and government offices closed for the day. 

Meanwhile in states which had earlier been shut for weather (such as those affected by Cyclone Montha) many schools have reopened, but the possibility of residual disruptions remains.

State-Wise: Where Schools Are Closed & Where They Are Open

Telangana: Jubilee Hills Bye-Election Closure

In Telangana, schools, colleges, and government offices within the Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency have been officially declared closed for 11 November as the by-poll election takes place. The announcement is specific to the constituency, rather than the entire state, and only government-recognized institutions are impacted. 

Bihar: Phase-II Assembly Elections

In Bihar, the second phase of assembly elections is scheduled for 11 November across 122 seats in 20 districts (including East Champaran, Madhubani, Bhagalpur, etc.). As a result, schools and affiliated centres that are designated as polling booths remain closed for the day. Regular classes are expected to resume the next day. 

Andhra Pradesh & Other Previously Affected States

In Andhra Pradesh, where schools had shut earlier due to Cyclone Montha and heavy rain, regular classes are largely resumed. Most districts have returned to functioning normally as no new statewide closure has been announced for 11 November. Parents in formerly affected districts should verify via local district education offices.

Other States 

Most other states including major ones like Delhi, Maharashtra, West Bengal, and Karnataka have scheduled regular classes today. However, in districts seeing residual heavy rain, high air pollution, or local festivals, institutions may still issue localised closures. Parents are advised to keep track of official circulars for their specific school.

School Holiday Status on 11 November 2025

While the majority of Indian schools are back in session on 11 November 2025, certain areas continue to observe holidays owing to election duties, weather conditions, or festival observances. In Telangana’s Jubilee Hills constituency and Bihar’s election districts, closures are clearly mandated. In contrast, Andhra Pradesh and most other states are operating normally. Parents and students are encouraged to stay alert to school WhatsApp or SMS alerts, check the district education office website, and monitor local weather or election updates to avoid confusion.
