I've deployed a python script on heroku and I can run that in local terminal by
heroku run python script.py
command, But when I close the local terminal the script has been stopped.
Is there a way to run deployed script through the heroku server and independent of local machine ?
You can check:

heroku run:detached -t python script.py should do the trick for you
Reddy Abel Tintaya Conde's answer using heroku run:detached is good for ad hoc stuff.
But if your script should run continuously, automatically restarting when it fails, you should define a process for it in your Procfile. Such processes are often called worker processes:
worker: python script.py
Then you can scale your worker process up (or down) with heroku ps:scale:
heroku ps:scale worker=1
Whether you run your script this way or via heroku run:detached, remember that this consumes free dyno hours or, if you are using paid dynos, incurs costs.
Procfile called Procfile exactly? Not procfile or Procfile.txt or something? (b) Is it in the root (top) irectory of your project? (c) If you're asking about the 1 in heroku ps:scale worker=1, that is the number of dynos we're asking Heroku to scale to. That might be up or down, but we want one running dyno.
