The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation on Friday announced a holiday for its employees on January 22, the day when the idol consecration ceremony will take place at the new Ram temple in Ayodhya.

The civic body, however, excluded the employees of emergency services like fire brigade, disaster management, Deonar abattoir and hospitals from the holiday.

The BMC employees and workers posted in neighbouring Thane district will also get a holiday, an official circular said.
