Telangana Govt grants early leave to Muslim employees during Ramadan
Hyderabad: The Government of Telangana has granted permission to all government employees, including teachers, contract staff, outsourcing workers, and employees of boards, corporations, and public sector units, to leave their offices and schools an hour early during the holy month of Ramadan. The early leave, at 4:00 p.m., will be in effect from March 2, 2025, to March 31, 2025 (both days inclusive).
This decision allows Muslim employees to leave work early to offer necessary prayers, except in cases where their presence is required due to service exigencies. Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari issued the directive.
Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is a time for fasting, prayer, reflection, and community for Muslims. Fasting from dawn to sunset is obligatory for all adult Muslims, except those with certain exemptions such as illness or pregnancy. The daily fast is broken at sunset with a meal called iftar, following the predawn meal, suhur.
