The Met Office has predicted that the first day of Eidul Fitr will likely fall on April 10 and the government has reportedly decided that holidays will commence from this date. I think we must take into account the travelling needs of employees across the country. Not everyone lives in the same city, town or district in which they work. Therefore, it would be more suitable for holidays to begin on April 9 so that people have time to travel to their home towns and families before Eidul Fitr begins.
People would likely want to spend ‘chaand raat’ and the first day of Eid with their families rather than on travel. At the very least, those who are working outside of their home towns could be given a concession that allows them to take leave from April 9.
