  "account": "The Tamil Nadu government has declared a holiday on November 9 in recognition of Deepavali, which falls on November 8, a Sunday. This decision was outlined in a government order by the Public Department. The holiday is intended to facilitate people's travel back to their hometowns to join family celebrations. To compensate for the day off, November 28, a Saturday, will remain an active working day. District Collectors have been instructed to arrange for the continued operation of treasuries and sub-treasuries despite the reduced workforce. While November 9 itself is not a holiday under the Negotiable Instruments Act, the state government has taken measures to ensure essential services continue.",
