Are you looking forward to the joyous occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr? Mark your calendars as Pakistanis are expecting six holidays in celebration of this event, according to the latest reports from the Meteorological Department.
Eid ul Fitr in Pakistan is a joyous celebration marking the end of Ramadan. Families come together to offer prayers, exchange gifts, and share delicious feasts, and the air is filled with warmth and happiness.
Eid-ul-Fitr Celebrations:
This year, Eid-ul-Fitr is expected to be celebrated around April 10. The introduction of the Lunar calendar by former federal minister Fawad Chaudhary in 2019 has helped streamline the process of determining Eid dates based on moon sightings.
Six Days of Festivity
The prospect of six holidays comes as a delightful surprise for many. The government is expected to announce a four-day holiday starting from April 9 (Tuesday) to April 12 (Friday).
Combined with the weekend holidays on Saturday and Sunday, it would result in a total of six days off f across the country.
This extended break allows ample time for preparations, festivities, and spending quality moments with family and loved ones.
Awaiting the Official Confirmation
While anticipation builds for the extended holiday break, the final decision on the holiday schedule will be made after consultations with the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) and other relevant departments.
The Cabinet Division’s list of holidays had previously indicated a shorter holiday period, but adjustments may be made based on official consultations and considerations.
As we eagerly await the official announcement, let’s prepare to welcome Eid-ul-Fitr with open arms, embracing the spirit of joy, unity, and gratitude that accompanies this special occasion.
Whether it’s exchanging gifts, sharing meals with loved ones, or reaching out to those in need, Eid-ul-Fitr offers a time for reflection, celebration, and renewed bonds within the community.
