Jammu and Kashmir Government Grants Special Leave on Third Day of Eid-ul-Azha

The Jammu and Kashmir government has granted a special one-day casual leave on May 29, the third day of Eid-ul-Azha, extending the holiday to three days for its employees. This decision was contrasted by the ruling Jammu and Kashmir National Conference with West Bengal's reported reduction of Eid-ul-Azha holidays from two days to one. NC spokesman Imran Nabi Dar credited Jammu and Kashmir's Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for the extension and criticized the West Bengal government's move.
