The holiday will be observed across the province by all government and private offices, as well as autonomous and semi-autonomous bodies, corporations and local councils operating under the administrative control of the provincial government.

However, the holiday will not apply to officers and officials engaged in flood relief operations, emergency services, and other essential services, who are required to remain on duty.
