Sources: Haveeru and Maldives public holidays. The President of the Maldives, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, has announced that, since the Eid-ul-Fitr day is due to fall on a Friday (October 12), the Monday following Eid (October 15) would be a Government holiday to give Government employees an additional day off from work. Government offices would therefore open for work again on October 16th.
