On November 25, 2024, the Government of Mizoram issued a notification detailing the official holidays for the year 2025. This includes general holidays, restricted holidays, and the procedures for availing restricted holidays.
The Government of Mizoram has declared certain public holidays for the year 2025, which will be observed across all government offices and institutions in the state. These holidays are typically aligned with national and regional events, such as Republic Day, Independence Day, Mizoram Statehood Day, Christmas, and other important festivals.
In addition to the regular public holidays, the Governor of Mizoram has also declared a list of restricted holidays for the year 2025. These holidays are optional, meaning that government employees are given the flexibility to choose two holidays from the restricted list to observe.
Key Points About Restricted Holidays:
- Employee Discretion: Each employee is allowed to choose two holidays from the restricted holiday list. The employee can apply in writing to their Superior Officer to request the holiday, who will typically grant the request unless the employee’s presence is deemed necessary due to urgent government work.
- Advance Application: Employees must apply for these holidays in advance, ensuring proper documentation and approval from the relevant authorities.
- Approval Process: The application to avail restricted holidays will be approved by the employee’s Superior Officer, who is also competent to grant casual leave, except in cases where the employee’s presence is crucial for government operations.
