Amaravati: During the month of Ramzan, from April 3 to May 2, all Muslim government employees, teachers, and contract workers are permitted to leave offices/schools one hour earlier in the evening on all working days, said the Government of Andhra Pradesh.
"Government hereby permits all Government Servants, Teachers, Persons hired on contract and outsourcing personnel, who profess Islam, to leave offices/schools one hour earlier in the evening on all working days during the Holy Month of Ramzan," i.e. from April 3, 2022, to May 2, 2022 (both days inclusive), to perform necessary rituals, except when their presence is required due to exigencies of services during the said period," said an order issued by the Andhra Pradesh government.
Ramzan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, during which Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, pray for peace and guidance, give back to the community through charity or 'zakat,' and participate in humanitarian activities such as feeding the poor and introspection to enlighten their souls.
Ramzan is one of Islam's five pillars, and it is observed every year. It lasts between one crescent moon sighting and the next. Ramzan is said to be the anniversary of Prophet Muhammad's first revelation.
In the month of Ramadan, diabetes patients are keeping fast, so keep these things in mind.
