In light of Diwali falling on a Sunday, the Tamil Nadu government has officially declared November 13 as an additional holiday. This decision aims to accommodate the needs of thousands of government employees and students in Chennai who frequently travel to their hometowns on Fridays and return on Sundays.
The government`s move to designate Monday, November 13, as a holiday comes as a thoughtful gesture to ensure that the Diwali weekend is not just a regular one for those looking to celebrate with their families. This extended holiday period allows individuals to spend quality time with their loved ones during the cherished Diwali celebrations.
