2nd October- Is It A Mandatory Holiday In Gujarat ??

Hi All,
I am working in a private concern covered under the Factories Act, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. In my organization, 2nd October is not considered as a holiday, and no comp off/ double wage is given in lieu of the same. On speaking to HR, they say this is a common practice in factories across Ahmedabad.
Can you please provide me a link which proves that 2nd October is a mandatory holiday in Gujarat state. Have tried searching on the net, but in vain. Please Help.

Can somebody please respond to the query posted above, I shall be highly grateful.
Warmest Regards,
Juhi

Dear,
As per every organisation has to pay 8 days paid Holiday in a calender year.
Out of 8 there are 3 national holidays i.e. 26 Jan, 15 Aug. & 2 Oct. these are mandatory paid holidays.
If any person worked on any of these days the employer has to pay Overtime @ 2 times of ordinary rate & one day salary of paid holiday.
Thanks,
