The Telangana government has declared a holiday tomorrow in view of Vinayaka immersion celebrations. All government offices and educational institutions under the Greater Hyderabad limits will remain closed. The decision covers Hyderabad, Medchal, and Rangareddy districts.
Osmania University has also postponed all scheduled exams. These include the third-semester PG backlog and improvement tests, as well as B.Ed second and third semester exams. Officials said the new dates will be announced soon. The holiday for Vinayaka immersion ensures that students and staff are free from exam pressure during the massive celebrations across the city.
The government clarified that October 2, which falls on a Saturday, will now be treated as a working day to balance the holiday schedule. Authorities at Salar Jung Museum confirmed that the museum will also remain closed tomorrow due to the immersion day.
