The Andhra Pradesh government revises the 2026 school holiday schedule for Muharram observances, updating closure dates based on calculations reflected in state government orders. According to reports, the earlier schedule sets a general holiday on June 25, which is now moved to June 26, 2026. The change also affects an optional holiday: the optional school holiday is moved to June 25 from its previously planned date of June 16, according to the updates referenced in government orders dated June 15, 2026.
The revisions are issued through separate government orders (reported as G.O.Rt.No.1176 and G.O.Rt.No.1177) and are described as aligning the dates of 9th and 10th Muharram observances. As a result, schools in the state follow a synchronized holiday calendar for the Muharram period, with the general closure taking effect on June 26, 2026 and the optional holiday adjusted to June 25.
