Diwali festival is celebrated with great pomp in India. However, in some states there is no provision of holidays for this or there are fewer holidays.

Let us tell you which are the states where children are disappointed on Diwali holiday.
Holidays are announced in various states of India on Diwali festival. However, there is no holiday on Diwali in some states. This year also Diwali holiday has not been given in many states. These mainly include Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Assam etc.

Uttarakhand
Uttarakhand has holidays from November 1 to November 3, but no special holiday has been given for Diwali. In the schools here, only November 1 holiday has been declared for Diwali.
Jammu and Kashmir
There is no Diwali holiday even in hilly areas like Jammu and Kashmir. Here people give priority to their local traditions and festivals. Although, many times people here celebrate the festival of Diwali, but it is not generally recognized as a government holiday.
Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh
Other festivals have more importance in Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh. In the high mountain areas of Meghalaya, local tribal cultures have their own characteristics, where other festivals are given priority over Diwali.
People of these states do not get benefit
In such states, it has been seen many times that even though there are no important holidays like Diwali for working people, they try to balance their work and family responsibilities. In this situation, people appeal to the authorities for leave, so that they can celebrate this special occasion with their loved ones.
