Based upon the request of COC Karnataka. The Confederation CHQ has taken up the case of declaring holiday on 14.10.2013 of Dussehra (Vijaya Dashami) instead of 13/10/13. The main festival of Dussehra (Vijaya
Dashami) is being celebrated on 14.10.2013 in entire Karnataka State and
the world famous Jambu Savari procession takes place on 14.10.2013 at
Mysore. As the standard holidays for Vijaya Dashami has been declared on
13.10.2013 vide DOPT office letter dated 05.06.2012, the C. G.
Employees could not avail holiday on 14.10.2013, the real date of its
celebration.
DOPT has expressed the view that this is a national holiday and it should be applicable to the entire nation. Secretary General of Confederation was in constant touch with DOPT officials in this matter and has explained to DOPT officials the importance of Dussehra (Vijaya Dashami). DOPT gives its opinion on leave case that this holiday issue is for entire nation not just of Karnataka State, no other state committee has given such request. Hence DOPT has indicated that it cannot change the holiday from 13/10/13 to 14/10/13.
