This creates hurdles for the employees of all banks, posted in far flung areas, wishing to celebrate Eid with their families at home; as they cannot have bookings by then to travel home by any mode - rail, road, and air.
Hence, they are deprived the opportunity to be with their kith and kin on the auspicious eve of Eid - only due to the delayed declaration of Eid holidays.
Can it be hoped that from Eid-ul-Azha 2006 and onwards holidays will be declared well in advance so that bank employees are able to make travel arrangements accordingly, for the celebration of Eid with their dear and near ones at their native towns?
