Govt likely to announce 9 holidays for Eid-Ul-Adha

On Saturday, The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee announced that the first Zil Hajjah will be on Monday, 12 July, and noted that the tenth Zil Hajjah or Eid ul Adha will fall on 21 July in Pakistan.

Government employees are likely to get nine holidays just like for the previous Eid. The official holidays should start from 20 July (Hajj day) which will be on Tuesday. With Monday being the only working day in the entire week, it is most likely to be included in the holidays. However, because public offices do not operate on weekends, the count shall start on Saturday, 17 July.
