LucknowMarch 25. The government led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Uttar Pradesh has decided to declare a two-day public holiday in the state on the occasion of Ram Navami. Earlier only 27th March was declared as Ram Navami holiday, but now it has been extended to 26th March also.
Got four consecutive days leave
If seen, this is a good news for the people of the state because now they will get a long weekend. Both Ashtami and Ramnavami are falling on 26th March, Thursday and Ramnavami holiday is on 27th March, Friday. After this, there will be a holiday on March 28 (fourth Saturday) and March 29 (Sunday).
Therefore this decision was taken
This decision has been taken because every year on Ram Navami, a large number of devotees reach the temples for worship and darshan. There will be huge crowd at major Shaktipeeths and temples of the region including Ayodhya and Ayodhya Ram Temple. According to the Uttar Pradesh administration, lakhs of devotees are likely to come to Ayodhya on Ram Navami. This decision was taken to ensure security arrangements, traffic management and safety of devotees. Under this order, government offices, schools, colleges and banks will remain closed on March 26 and 27.
High Court declared holiday on 27th March instead of 26th
Although, the court had earlier declared Ram Navami holiday on March 26, but now the High Court has changed this holiday to March 27. Normal functioning will continue in the courts on March 26.
