Saturday is good but people who work 6 days a week or

school on Saturdays may not be able to make it.
I agree that few wont be able to make it for Saturdays, but many wont be
able to make it on Sunday if we have a mega block on any of the lines,
neither our railway informs us well before about the planned blocks.
In that case, it will be impossible for us to conduct anything if everyone
preferences are to be considered. Probably, any public holiday will be the
best option in that case.
