Panaji, Jan 10 : Goa government on Wednesday declared holiday for government servants and schools on January 22 in the wake of the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony of Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya.
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, during a presser after the cabinet meeting, said that the day should be celebrated like Diwali and hence the government has decided to declare holiday for government servants.
