Staff Correspondent »

  • The government has extended the period of public holidays for the upcoming Shab-e-Qadr and Eid-ul-Fitr. The Ministry of Public Administration issued a notification in this regard on Sunday.

    The notification stated that an additional one-day government holiday has been declared on Wednesday, March 18, in between the previously scheduled holidays. As a result of this holiday granted by the executive order, the continuity of government holidays on the occasion of Eid will be even longer.

    Government guidelines state that all government, semi-government, autonomous and semi-autonomous institutions in the country, as well as private offices, will be closed on that day.

    Authorities say the decision to grant this additional holiday was made keeping in mind the convenience of people’s travel and family time around religious festivals.
