Bhubaneswar: In a partial modification to its earlier order, the Odisha government on Tuesday declared September 28 as the Eid-e-Milad holiday instead of September 29.
Eid-e-Milad celebrates Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, which falls on the 12th day of Rabi Ul Awwal, the third month of the Islamic year.
“The Government of Odisha is pleased to declare a holiday of September 28 (Thursday) instead of September 29 (Friday) on account of the birthday of Prophet Muhammad for the state government offices as well as the Revenue and Magisterial courts,” a notification issued by Revenue and Disaster Management Department stated.
