Thiruvananthapuram: The state cabinet has decided that the government holiday for Bakrid (Eid al-Adha) will be observed only on Saturday. Though there was consideration to declare Friday as a holiday as well, the proposal was eventually rejected.
Due to a delay in the sighting of the moon, Bakrid was moved from June 6 (Friday) to June 7 (Saturday). The holiday initially declared for June 6 has now been shifted to June 7.
