Sir,
Sub: - Request declaration of Holiday
on 14.10.2013 in lieu of 13.10.2013 – case of Karnataka State.
The main festival of Dussehra (Vijaya
Dashami) is being celebrated on 14.10.2013 in entire Karnataka State and the world famous Jambu Savari
procession takes place on 14.10.2013 at Mysore. As the standard holidays for
Vijaya Dashami has been declared on 13.10.2013 vide your office letter dated
05.06.2012, the C. G. Employees could not avail holiday on 14.10.2013, the real
date of its celebration.
The optional holidays could not be
exercised in the state on 14.10.2013, as they have already been exercised for
Sankranthi, Ugadi & Ganesh Chatturthi as holidays by the CGEWCE, Karnataka.
As such the only option available is to modify the holiday on 13.10.2013 as
14.10.2013 only in respect of Karnataka Circle.
As this is a main festival in respect
of Karnataka Circle, it is requested to consider the option at the
earliest.
A line in reply about the action taken
is highly solicited.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
(M. Krishnan)
