Hyderabad closes Friday; November 14 gets the bill
Government offices, schools and colleges in Hyderabad-Secunderabad and parts of two adjoining districts are reported closed for Ganesh immersion. The order itself remains unpublished in the sources reviewed.
Reports say a September 25 closure will be offset by a working day on November 14.
Government offices, schools and colleges in Hyderabad-Secunderabad and adjoining areas of Ranga Reddy and Medchal-Malkajgiri are reported to remain closed on September 25 for the Ganesh immersion procession. The closure is not statewide, and the available reports do not establish whether every private institution is covered.
The reports attribute the order to Telangana Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju, issued on September 23. They also say November 14, described as the second Saturday, will be a working day in lieu. The government has apparently found a way to close Friday and invoice Saturday.
The underlying government order was not available in the sources reviewed. Its order number, issuing department, precise boundaries, exemptions and treatment of examinations, private institutions and essential services therefore remain unconfirmed. Readers should check with their institution before assuming the holiday applies to them.
