An emergency bill was passed on Saturday night to grant funding to the federal departments of the United States government, narrowly avoiding a government shutdown. The passing of the bill means that the US federal services can now run unhindered for the next 45 days. The US government would have headed for a complete shutdown if Congress hadn’t approved the funding of federal departments and agencies by October 1. Through the passage of the emergency bill in by the US Congress, the shutdown was averted for 45 days. If the US government faces a shutdown, almost all government operations will come to a halt except for the emergency services.
