Kerala declares Bakrid holiday on Saturday
The Kerala government on Thursday declared a public holiday on June 7 on account of Id-ul-Adha, or Bakrid, instead of June 6. The public holiday was declared under the provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. According to a government order, the government has earlier inter alia declared holiday for Bakrid on June 6. However, since the Bakrid is celebrated across the State on June 7, Saturday will be a holiday for all government offices, all public sector undertakings and all educational institutions, including professional colleges, and all institutions coming under Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 and Friday will be a working day, an order issued by the State government said.

Kerala govt revises Bakrid holiday to June 7, faces backlash over cutback
The Kerala government on Thursday announced that Saturday, June 7, will be a public holiday in observance of Bakrid, following reports that the festival will be celebrated across the state on that day. Earlier, the government had declared Friday, June 6, as the holiday for Bakrid. However, with the festival falling a day later, authorities have revised the decision. As a result, June 6 (Friday) will now be a regular working day. The updated holiday on June 7 will apply to all government offices, public sector undertakings, educational institutions including professional colleges, and institutions governed by the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, the government order said. Officials said the change was made to ensure the holiday aligns with the actual date of celebration observed by the people. The Muslim Students Federation (MSF), the student wing of the Indian Union Muslim League, criticised the Kerala government for cutting the Bakrid public-holiday period to a single day. In a Facebook post, MSF state president P K Navas called the move "extremely shameful" and urged the government to reverse it. "Kerala has always treated every community's festival as a festival for all," Navas wrote. "If you cannot protect us, at least do not harass us; if you cannot give, do not take away," he said.

Union Depot restaurant changes name, teases new patio and expanded happy hour
Changes are already coming to the 1881 by Lake Elmo Inn, the restaurant that opened in Union Depot last summer. The team behind the Union Depot restaurant, who also operate Lake Elmo Inn in Lake Elmo, have announced the restaurant has been renamed the 1881 Eating House, and has revealed plans for its new "Plaza Patio." The new space will be situated on the North Plaza of Union Depot, with the restaurant hoping it'll be a hub for an outdoor bite or sip before St. Paul Saints games or during the weekend farmers markets in Lowertown St. Paul. 'We've been listening to our guests, and this evolution reflects what they want: an inviting space that's more approachable, while still offering an elevated dining experience,' said owner John Schiltz. Another change coming to the restaurant is an expanded, all-night happy hour, available on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, the same nights as Station Sounds, a live music series running during the summer.
