The government of Nepal is considering canceling more than a dozen public holidays, as well as reducing the weekend form 2 days to 1 day.
The public holidays changes being considered are: the reduction of the Dashain public holiday to 5 days, from present 9 days, as well as the cancellation of the public holidays for Gaijatra, Indrajatra, Rakchhyabandhan, Sri Krishnajanmastami, Sripanchami, Fagupurnima, Chaitedasain, and Ramnavami.
