Madhya Pradesh government has announced a half-day closure of all government offices and institutions on January 22 to observe the Pran Pratishtha ceremony in Ayodhya. The decision comes after the Centre's order for its employees. Public sector banks, insurance companies, and financial institutions across India will also observe a half-day closure, while private sector banks have not announced any holiday. Additionally, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has flagged off five trucks carrying five lakh 'laddus' from Ujjain to Ayodhya for the ceremony.
