Assam Govt employees to get special leaves on Jan 6 and 7. Here's why

GUWAHATI: The Assam Government approved special leave for its employees on January 6 & 7, 2022 to spend quality time with their families, parents and in-laws during the holidays.

The notification issued for the order read, “The Assam government is pleased to allow state government employees to avail casual leave on January 6 and 7, 2022, suffixing the two holidays, the 8th and 9th of January 2022, being the 2nd Saturday and Sunday, so as to enable them to spend the aforesaid days with their living parents and parents-in-law.”

In a video announcement CM Sarma said, “To uphold ancient Indian values, I urge Assam Govt employees to spend quality time with their parents/in-laws on Jan 6 & 7, 2022 designated as spl leave.

I request them to rededicate themselves to the cause of building a New Assam & New India with blessings of their parents.”

However, it would be mandatory to flourish photographs showing that they stayed with the parents during the holidays as proof. Those seeking the holidays will have to apply for leave prior.

Stretching this one-of-a-kind initiative to onfield-duty police, healthcare officials, and other officials allied to emergency services, Himanta Biswa Sarma added that they will also be able to avail holidays in phases in the next four months.
