Muslim employees in all state departments and schools have been permitted to leave at 4pm everyday during the month of Ramzan to perform ‘necessary rituals’, a general administration department release said.
The relaxation of rules came into effect from Thursday and will end on August 8. Outsourced employees would also have this benefit.
However, employees will have to continue working during office hours in case of pressing matters of service, the memo added.
