Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday approved a five-day public holiday from July 8 to July 12 (Friday to Tuesday) on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha.
“Further action may be taken accordingly,” the letter from the PM Office read.
Earlier, the Cabinet Division sent a summary to PM Shehbaz Sharif to get his approval for a three-day public holiday.
The first day of Eid-ul-Azha will be celebrated across Pakistan on July 10 (Sunday), Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Chairman Maulana Muhammad Abdul Khabir Azad announced last week.
