J&K: Independence Day Holiday Canceled For Government Employees
The government employees in Jammu and Kashmir seem to celebrate Independence Day in their offices as per the orders of the Lt Governor administration.
The Lt Governor administration for the first time instructed the government employees in Jammu and Kashmir to attend their offices on Independence Day for a flag hoisting ceremony and warned of action against the employees who remain absent on the day.
"No government employee shall avail leave on Independence Day 2023 except under exceptional circumstances. All employees would invariably participate in the Independence Day celebrations," an official document reads.
August 15 is a public holiday and all government offices, banks, and educational institutions remain closed across the country. The J&K government has barred its employees from skipping the office on August 15 except under exceptional circumstances.
"As per the circular of government, all the staff is hereby directed to attend the office on August 15. Action warranted against rules shall be taken against those who stay away and remain absent," reads a circular issued by one of the government departments for its employees. The main Independence Day function in J&K would be held at Sheri Kashmir Cricket Stadium at Sonawar in Srinagar.

Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir's top cop on Sunday said adequate security arrangements have been made to ensure peaceful conduct of Independence Day celebrations in the union territory.
Director General of Police Dilbag Singh said people should come in large numbers to participate in the Independence Day celebrations across Jammu and Kashmir.
