This is very old news. Hyderabad metro was poorly planned TBH, from what I heard and the biggest problem is last mile connectivity. Also, it was foolish of L&T to take 90% of ownership. Metro is never profit making business, right?

Probably this is what happens when people work for 90 hours a week. They are so tired that they stop seeing things straight. :D

I wonder if the old men will complain of the 30 religious holidays in a year next. All countries only have a handful of holidays like 3-4 days in an entire year, so we need parity in India to build the country. More holidays will make the workforce more lazy. /s

Isn't there a limit to the no of festival holidays we can take??
I mean while my calendar shows many, we can only take 4 in a year and that also varies as per region.

Joke! Every country has at least 8-10 festive or observation day holidays in a year.

Totally wrong! Holidays and leaves are required to increase productivity. Thats why 4 days a week work is in discussion with only 40-42hr to count.

According to my company leave calendar for '25, there are 9 compulsory holidays plus 3 on-demand holidays in addition to the standard PLs, SLs, and CLs.

Similar in my case but since last year they have been flexi on passing on the ball onto the employees as to which public/festive holidays they want to opt for. Like 26th jan 15th aug 2nd oct and 1st may is a mandatory holiday and the rest 8 leaves are up to emplyee which days he chooses based on the huge list provided. And yeah these leaves can be altered as and when required like if I chose diwali day as a holiday and just 24hrs prior to diwali I can change my mind and select another upcoming festive date as the holiday.
I really liked this concept of rather than forcing holidays on the employee we get the flexibility to choose ours!
