Hi,
Please check the leave policy of your company. If 15th Aug is salready declared as holiday, than you cant open your office on that day.
As said by others 15th Aug is a national holiday so, keeping the office open on that day might become illigal.

Dear Ash,

the point at issue is not that someone should not take a holiday on 15th Aug.

Its about what to do in case one has to attend duties on 15th Aug. and wrongly equating patriotism with taking leave.

Whether its a National oliday or a popular festival like Deepawali or Holi; some people who are
  1. in continuos operation industries (like iron and steel making, where if a balst furnace is stopped onece, it will take at least 3 months to restart it again !);
  2. in police services, or other public utility services which come under Essential Services;
  3. in hospital and medical services;
  4. in BPO's etc. where its 24x7 working, etc. (the list is illustrative, and not exhaustive)

are required to work.

When the whole of India is cheering and celebrating, these people PROUDLY go on with their work because the "show must go on !" And if they don't work on that day, whole India will come to a halt.

Imagine getting stuck on railway track in a remote area, cities having no power supply and Electricity on 15th Aug. No buses or public transport. No policeman on duty.

These people SACRIFICE their holiday, their joy of celebrating with family, for the sake of their duties, so that the rest of India can move along.

Is it justified to call them Unpatriotic ???

Is not some understanding of issues and sensitivity be expected from people who call themselves HR professionals ???

Regards.

Dear Madhura, If there is such a great emergency that u cnnot close yr office on 15th then better way out is to gv the employees a compensatory leave on any other day. Regards, Payal
