Government offices and most companies carry on routine working on the day; public transport too is functional. The activities, practices of this day go different from places in India.
This is what began New Year Day – adding January as a month on the calendar on the eve of 45 BC Roman emperor Julius Caesar did that. He fixed January 1 as the start of the new year. The day was in the name of the Roman god Janus, the god of new beginnings. However, the tradition became the whole world’s tradition in the 16th century when Pope Gregory XIII established the Gregorian calendar and settled January 1 as the first day of the New Year.
