Nepal's Prime Minister, Madhav Kumar, has announced that this year's Udahuli Sakela festival (aka. Mangshir Purnima) would be a nationwide public holiday this year.
Normally, this festival, would have been a regional public holiday only.
Today's promotion of a regional, or sectorial public holiday into a full-fledged nationwide public holiday, seems to be part of a recent trend (28-Nov-2009 and 10-Oct-2009).
