Holiday declared for schools and colleges in Pune’s Lashkar area on September 8 due to the Ganesh visarjan procession. Stay updated with PuneriPages.in.
If you live or study around the Lashkar area, here’s something important to know for Monday. All schools, colleges, and other educational institutions under Lashkar Police Station limits will remain closed on September 8.
This holiday has been declared because of the main Ganesh visarjan procession of the Shrimant Bhausaheb Rangari Ganpati Trust—one of Pune’s oldest and most celebrated processions. Since it attracts massive crowds and clogs up the narrow streets, the administration wants to make sure things go smoothly without students or parents getting stuck in the chaos.
The order has come directly from Pune District Collector Dr. Rajesh Deshmukh, so this isn’t just hearsay—it’s an official announcement.

Why the holiday?
The idea is simple:
- Ease traffic congestion in and around Lashkar.
- Save students, parents, and staff from unnecessary travel trouble.
- Let the visarjan procession happen in a safe and organized way.
Who does this apply to?
This is where you need to be careful:
👉 The holiday is only for schools and colleges in the Lashkar Police jurisdiction.
👉 If your institution is in another part of Pune, it’s a regular working day.
Wrap-up
So, if you’re a student, parent, or teacher in the Lashkar belt, consider this your heads-up—no classes on Monday, September 8. Everyone else, carry on as usual, but do expect some traffic delays because of the visarjan crowds.
