no compromises on mandatory holidays like Independence day, Republic day and Gandhi Jayanthi. These days cannot be compensated with a holiday whether it falls on a working day or a holiday.

No officer of State can permit any institute to take work from employees on republic day. This is State policy announced publically years ago. None can challenge it.

Certain Factory/ industry need staff to work for essential continuous processes ext.
Fire & Security remains on job 24/7

Those Staff are allowed to work on these days
To my knowledge, they are paid Overtime Wages + with a compensatory paid OFF[ holiday] within a week of such holiday.
