Mangaluru, Dec 10: It will be an extended weekend for the students of schools and college in Dakshina Kannada as the district administration has decided to advance the holiday for 'Eid Milad-un-Nabi' to Monday, December 12.
The Karnataka government has already declared a public holiday on next Tuesday, December 13, on account of Eid Milad. However, Muslims in the coastal belt of Karnataka will celebrate the birthday of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) a day earlier, i.e. on Monday.
Hence, Y Abdullah Kunhi, the chairman of Zeenath Baksh and Eidgah Juma Masjid, Managluru, had urged the district administration on behalf of the Muslim community to advance the holiday for educational intuitions to facilitate the Muslims students to take part in the Eid Milad celebrations.
Positively responding to the request, Dr K J Jagadisha, the Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate of Dakshina Kannada, on Saturday issued a communiqué and formally announced the advancement holiday for schools and colleges.
He said that on December 13 all the educational institutions in the district will function as usually. The communiqué, however, did not mention about the advancement of holiday for other government establishments.
