The Maharashtra government today said the public holiday on account of Eid-e-Milad in Mumbai city and suburban district will be observed on 8th September, instead of 5th September (tomorrow).
In a circular, the State General Administration Department has clarified that government offices in Mumbai city and suburbs will remain open on the 5th of September. However, in other districts of Maharashtra, the holiday will continue to be observed on 5th September (tomorrow) as announced earlier.
The decision was taken after the Muslim community resolved to hold the Eid-e-Milad procession on 8th September to ensure harmony as Anant Chaturdashi falls on 6th September, when Ganesh idols will be immersed after public processions.
