Telangana Sets New Ramzan Timings For Staff And Schools
The director of school education also issued an order revising school hours for Urdu medium institutions: Reports
HYDERABAD: For the holy month of Ramzan, the Telangana government has allowed government employees who follow Islam to leave work at 4 pm and directed Urdu medium government and aided schools to function from 8 am to 1.30 pm from February 19 to March 20.
A memo issued by the general administration department on February 17 states that the relief applies to employees across departments, including teachers, contract and outsourcing staff, boards, corporations and public sector undertakings.
The director of school education also issued an order revising school hours for Urdu medium institutions. However, upper primary and secondary schools must compensate for the loss of daily school hours by working one extra day. Primary schools must add half an hour on two working days, as was done last year.
