Ahead of the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha on January 22, 2024 take a look at the state-wise list of banks closed for the Consecration Ceremony.
New Delhi: A letter has been written to the President of India Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah by an advocate, requesting them to declare a National Holiday on January 22 on account of Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha; however, a half-day for Central Government offices, institutions and industrial establishments has been declared by the government. There are a few states who have declared a holiday for all educational institutions and have also declared a ‘Dry Day’ on Jan 22, i.e. there will be no sale of alcohol. Amid the shutting down of schools, colleges and offices, are banks closed on Pran Pratishtha too? Here’s what we know so far…
Banks Closed On January 22 For Pran Pratishtha?
The government has declared a half-day leave for Central Government offices, institutions and industrial establishments; states like UP, MP and Chhattisgarh have declared a holiday for educational institutions but so far, banks have not been closed on January 22 for Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha. There has been no update regarding the closure of banks on Jan 22 and it seems highly unlikely, except one state.
Banks In Uttar Pradesh Closed On Jan 22
All banks in Uttar Pradesh, the state where the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha is being held, will remain closed on January 22, 2024. Till now, it is only UP that has declared a bank holiday on Jan 22. All banks in Manipur will also be shut on Jan 22 but the reason for the same is not the Consecration Ceremony but it is due to Imoinu Iratpa.
