Hyderabad: The Telangana government has declared a holiday commemorating Shahadat Hazrat Ali, which falls on the 21st of the holy month of Ramzan.
Although the Telangana calendar listed the holiday on March 21, it will be observed on March 22.
The change in date is due to the sighting of the crescent moon, which resulted in the start of Ramzan on March 2 and the death anniversary on March 22.
Optional holiday on Hazrat Ali’s death anniversary
Though the government declared a holiday, it will be optional, not a general one.
In view of the holiday, schools and other colleges, especially minority institutions, may declare a holiday.
