SINGAPORE: Deepavali this year will fall on 27 October instead of 28 October, says the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

In a news statement on public holidays for 2008 released on 29 March 2007, MOM had said that Deepavali this year would fall on 28 October. However, the date needed to be checked against the Indian Almanacs when they became available.

The actual Deepavali date for 2008 is now known. It will fall on 27 October instead of 28 October, said MOM in a news release on Saturday. - CNA/ir
