West Bengal and Telangana Declare Holidays for Shab-e-Barat and Other Festivals: The government of West Bengal has declared holidays today and tomorrow in observance of Shab-e-Barat and Panchanan Barma Jayanti. Initially, only 14 February was noted as a holiday for Shab-e-Barat, but after confirming the festival's date as 13 February, a holiday was also designated for that day. The holiday on 14 February remains for the celebration of Thakur Panchanan Barma's birth anniversary. Consequently, all government offices, schools, and institutions in West Bengal will be closed on both days, and along with the weekend on 15 and 16 February, this means government employees get a four-day break.

In Telangana, schools will be closed on 14 February for Shab-e-Barat, while 15 February will be designated as a government holiday for Sant Sewalal Maharaj Jayanti, resulting in schools being closed for three days, including the weekend.
