West Bengal: BJP Trims Eid ul-Adha Holiday to One Day

The BJP government in West Bengal has cut the Eid-ul-Adha public holiday from two days to one, reversing a previous TMC policy. Only May 28, 2026, will be a holiday. May 26 and 27 are now normal working days. The move aligns with the central government's single-day holiday practice. Separately, the court upheld stricter slaughter rules for the festival.
