‘Hope to see next Dec 05 as J&K Holiday’
Srinagar, Dec O5 (KINS): Nasir Aslam Wani, Advisor to Jammu and Kashmir’s Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, announced on Thursday that the Council of Ministers have formally submitted a proposal to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to reinstate December 5 as a public holiday in commemoration of the late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah’s anniversary.
This proposal comes after the holiday was controversially canceled by the LG administration in recent years.
Wani, speaking to reporters during his visit to the mausoleum of Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah at Hazratbal, as per KINS, expressed hope that the holiday will be restored in time for next year. “This proposal has already been forwarded to the LG’s office and we are optimistic that the people of Jammu and Kashmir will once again observe this significant day,” he said.
