23rd November is Holiday? GHMC elections Polls

GHMC elections Polling on 23rd November...

Discrepancy between the orders of the State government and the State Election Commission (SEC) has led to confusion among the Central government employees over the declaration of public holiday on Monday on account of GHMC elections. Government order issued by the Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department on November 11 states that the day of the poll, November 23, is a public holiday in the areas that fall under the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation limits, under the Negotiable Instruments Act. That includes all the Central government undertakings and the Public Sector Units(PSUs) under Central government. However, an enquiry with the SEC has yielded information that the announcement by the Commission resulted from a recent Central government circular which explicitly stated that there would not be a holiday on November 23. However, there is no confusion with regard to the State government employees, educational institutions and also workers in private establishments, because the polling day has been declared a general holiday under the Shops and Establishments Act.
