Labour Day


Good day, everyone!

I would like to remind you all about Labour Day. Today, we honour the hard work and dedication of all the workers around the world. Labour Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, it is a day dedicated to the social and economic achievements of workers around the world.  It’s a day to recognize and appreciate the contributions of workers in all fields. It’s a special day to recognize the contributions of workers of our society. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the importance of their efforts in shaping our communities.

The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated in New York City on September 5, 1882, by the Central Labor Union. The holiday's origins include the 1886 Haymarket Riot in Chicago, when thousands of workers protested for an eight-hour workday. The riot began on May 1, 1886, and on May 4, a bomb was set off, killing seven police officers and eight civilians.

In 1884, the Knights of Labor adopted a resolution to make the first Monday in September Labor Day. The idea spread, and by 1887, Oregon became the first state to make it an official holiday. In 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September a national holiday. 

Labor Day is an annual holiday to celebrate the achievements of workers and to raise awareness of their rights. It's celebrated with parades and other festivities that demonstrate the strength of labor and trade organizations.

Remna Ni – Mizoram’s Day of Peace and Unity

Remna Ni, celebrated annually on June 30th in the northeastern state of Mizoram, holds a place of profound historical and emotional significance for the Mizo people. Known as “Peace Day,” Remna Ni commemorates the signing of the Mizo Peace Accord in 1986, which brought an end to two decades of insurgency and unrest in the state. It is a day not only to remember the past but to celebrate the return of peace, stability, and democratic progress in Mizoram.   The origins of Remna Ni lie in a long period of political turmoil. In the 1960s, due to dissatisfaction with the Indian government’s handling of famine and development in the Mizo Hills (then part of Assam), the Mizo National Front (MNF) launched an armed uprising in 1966, demanding independence. What followed was twenty years of armed conflict, curfews, and deep unrest that affected thousands of lives. For two decades, Mizoram remained under military and political tension, isolated from the developmental mainstream of India. ...
