With a view to completing all arrangements prior to the function, the University will be observed Thursday, 29 June 2023 as a working day for all the employees of the University.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cThe employees who wish to celebrate the festival on 29th June 2023 are exempted from attending the office,\u201d the notification said.\u00a0 A group of teachers called out the university administration for a \u201csectarian mindset, lack of sensitivity and deliberate attempt to isolate one community\u201d. They have demanded the university retract the notification.\u00a0 In a statement, the Democratic Federation of Teachers said June 29 is a mandatory holiday for celebrating Eid-ul-Adha and has been notified in the Gazette of India.\u00a0 \u201cMembers of the Muslim community celebrate Eid-ul-Adha. Members of other communities join these celebrations. It (the notification) is a step that demands reproach and condemnation for its sectarian mindset, lack of sensitivity and deliberate attempt to isolate one community,\u201d the statement said.\u00a0 The university could have identified its volunteers for the unfinished tasks for the Valedictory function, the teachers\u2019 group said.<\/p>\n<p><nonfly class=\"article_mad\" adunit=\"NW18_ENG_Desktop\/NW18_ENG_JOBS\/NW18_ENG_JOBS_AS\/NW18_ENG_JOBS_AS_ROS_MID_728\" slotid=\"nw18-dynamic-div-8194735_2_5\" id=\"new_ad_3\"\/><videocarousel\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">\u201cThe list of Gazetted Holidays has been known to the University much before the year 2023.
