The Kerala government has revised its decision concerning the Bakrid holiday, now setting June 7 as the public holiday instead of June 6.
This change was made after it was confirmed that Bakrid will be celebrated on June 7, prompting a shift from the government's earlier plan. Initially, Friday, June 6 was declared a holiday, but it will now be a regular working day.
The Muslim Students Federation criticized the government for shortening the Bakrid holidays, prompting the authorities to close educational institutions on June 6 following public protests.
