Tamil Nadu Declares November 9 Holiday Following Deepavali Festival
The Tamil Nadu government has declared November 9 a holiday for all government offices, public sector undertakings, schools, colleges, and educational institutions to facilitate travel for Deepavali on November 8. This decision follows requests from students, parents, teachers, and government employees. To compensate, November 28 will be a working day. District collectors have been instructed to ensure essential treasury and sub-treasury functions continue, as the holiday does not fall under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.
