The Assam government has announced two days of special casual leave in November for its employees to spend time with their parents or parents-in-law, according to the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) on Thursday.

These special leaves cannot be used for personal enjoyment, and employees without parents or parents-in-law will not be eligible, the CMO added.

“The Assam government, under the leadership of CM Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, has declared special casual leave for state government employees on November 6 and 8, 2024, to spend time with their parents or parents-in-law,” the CMO said in a post on X.

The leave must be used “solely for spending time with aging parents or parents-in-law to honor, respect, and care for them, and not for personal enjoyment,” the statement said.

The leaves can be combined with the holiday for Chhat Puja on November 7, the second Saturday holiday on November 9, and Sunday on November 10, the CMO noted.

Employees in essential services can avail of the leave in a phased manner. Those who do not have parents or parents-in-law will not be entitled to it.

The initiative of granting two special casual leaves for spending time with parents and parents-in-law was announced by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in his first Independence Day speech after assuming office in 2021.
