@Pradeepsingh61 all the PRs have disappeared from the hacktoberfest page, showing repository excluded . Please look into the matter.

Hi @lck6055, I emailed Hacktoberfest, waiting for their response🤞

Hi @Karanjot786,
I’d like to remind you about the delay regarding this issue. It’s already mid-October, but my Hacktoberfest profile still shows the repository as excluded. This has directly impacted two of my pull requests, which weigh more in my contribution profile.
