Enjoy a long diwali weekend! tamil Nadu declares a vacation...
According to reports, on November 1 (Friday), the day following diwali, the tamil Nadu government declared a holiday for all government buildings, schools, and colleges. On October 31, the celebration will be commemorated. A government statement, however, states that the holiday has been moved to November 1. tamil Nadu residents can enjoy a long weekend as a result.
However, the state administration declared Saturday, November 9, 2024, a working day to compensate for this holiday, according to the Times of India. "The government has declared 9 November as a working day to make up for the holiday," according to a government statement released on October 19, 2024.
The second Saturday, which is a bank holiday, will fall on November 9. Offices will still be open on November 9th, though. In order to accommodate the enormous number of kids, parents, teachers, and government personnel that travel to their hometowns for the festival, the decision was made, according to the article. They might have more time to get back to the state without being stressed out about their jobs. The action has been referred to be a "big advantage for all the movies of diwali releases" by many on social media.
According to the News, several government workers had previously urged the government to declare a holiday the day after diwali so that those who were traveling back to their hometowns could take advantage of the weekend as well rather than going back to work on Friday.
