Hi,
Yes.. It would be very useful if anyone can get a hold of the English version. Or if not, can anyone who has read this version please let me know what it states.

Dear Michelle,
The crux of the said GR for understanding would be-
To enable all the eligible voters within the corporations of concerned Districts to execute their right to vote, Maharashtra Govt orders all the shops and establishments, Hotels and lodges, restaurants, auditoriums, business houses, industrial establishments and other establishments that
1) All the workmen from the above mentioned establishments should be given paid Holiday on 16th February 2012 with regards to the Elections of Muncipal Corporations.
2) This GR will not be applicable in case of the establishments where there might be danger or major losses due to the mass absenteeism of workmen, but a special concession for two hours to be given to all such workmen.
All t e above mentioned concerned establishments are required to meticulously follow these orders.

Harshal Daftardar

Dear Mr. Sule,
