Manipur's government retracted Easter Sunday as a working day due to Christian community protests.

Manipur's government initially declared Easter Sunday (March 31) as a working day, but retracted the decision following protests by the Christian community, which makes up 40.1% of the state's population. The original order had stated that March 30 and 31 would be working days for government offices to ensure smooth functioning during the last few days of the financial year. Following backlash, the government modified the decision to declare only March 30 as a working day.
