The government has withdrawn its decision to give public holiday on Sundays.
A cabinet meeting held on Monday took a decision to that effect, a source told Setopati. This comes less than a month after the government's decision to implement a two-day weekend with effect from May 15 as a trial.
On April 27, a cabinet meeting had decided to implement a five-day work week with public holiday on Sundays as well.
However, many had been protesting the government’s decision, with some local units deciding to open offices and schools on Sundays.
Earlier on Monday, a writ petition was also filed at the Supreme Court against the decision to implement a two-day weekend.
