Gurugram, April 12 In view of the 18th Lok Sabha elections, the Haryana Government has announced a paid holiday for the voters of neighbouring states who are working in the offices of departments, boards, corporations and educational institutions under the state government.

According to the notification issued by the Office of the Chief Secretary, it applies to natives of neighbouring states who work in Haryana Government offices, boards, corporations as well as educational institutions, various factories, shops, and commercial and private establishments. If their vote remains in their home state, then those dates have been designated as paid holidays for such employees.
