The government has decided to revoke its decision to grant a two-day weekend--Saturday and Sunday.

A Cabinet meeting held on Monday decided to overturn its decision to provide two days of holiday a week.

The decision will come into effect from June 15.

Earlier on April 27, the government had decided to grant a two-day weekend effective from May 15 as a trial.

The government took the decision with a view to reducing the consumption of fuel. 

The concerned stakeholders had been piling pressure on the government to roll back its decision to provide two days of holiday a week. 

Earlier this afternoon, advocates Tej Kumar Lohiya, Ram Bahadur Shahi, Santosh Bhandari, Trilok Chand and Deepak Khanal among others filed a writ petition at the Supreme Court against the government decision to provide two days of holiday a week.
