Tamilmirror, Hiru News and Ada Derana report a special holiday for Tamil schools in connection with Deepavali. Hiru News (සිංහල) says the festival falls on Sunday, November 8, and the holiday is set for Monday, November 9.
Newsfirst reports that all Tamil schools in the Northern Province will be closed on November 9, citing an announcement by Northern Province Governor N. Vedanayagam. Newsfirst says the missed school day will be made up on Saturday, November 14.
Ada Derana’s English report and Hiru News (සිංහල) report that Tamil-medium schools in four provinces will receive the Monday holiday. Hiru News (සිංහල) identifies the Western, Central, Uva, Sabaragamuwa and Eastern provinces, while Ada Derana’s Tamil-language headline specifies the Northern and Eastern provinces. The reports therefore differ in how many provinces are covered.
