Tripura govt scraps May Day holiday

The BJP-led Tripura government has dropped May Day from its list of state’s ‘regular holidays’ and scheduled it under ‘restricted holidays’, sparking criticism by the opposition CPM in the state. A notification issued on Saturday said the government employees would be allowed to avail four holidays in a year from the list of 12 ‘restricted holidays’, including the May Day. —
