DEHRADUN: In a heartwarming gesture, Dehradun Police have granted a half day leave to female police personnel for the first time on the occasion of Karwa Chauth, acknowledging the emotional significance of this festival.
Karwa Chauth, a sacred Hindu festival, is celebrated on Sunday with married women observing a rigorous day-long fast, for the well-being and longevity of their husbands. The festival, predominantly observed in North India, holds deep cultural and spiritual significance.
