6-day Eid-ul-Fitr Festival likely this year
Govt seal
Government employees may get 6 consecutive days of leave on the occasion of the holy Eid-ul-Fitr. And if someone can 'manage' two days of leave, he will be able to enjoy 11 consecutive days of leave.
It is learned that the holy Eid-ul-Fitr may be celebrated in the country on Monday, March 31, depending on the sighting of the moon. The list of government holidays has been determined based on that calculation.
The Advisory Council approved a five-day holiday on Eid-ul-Fitr on October 17 last year. Earlier, this holiday was 3 days. The Ministry of Public Administration issued a notification regarding the holiday on October 21.
According to the notification, Monday, March 31, is a general holiday on Eid-ul-Fitr. The two days before Eid, March 29 and 30 (Saturday and Sunday), and the two days after Eid, April 1 and 2 (Tuesday and Wednesday), will be government holidays by executive order. Friday, March 28 is a weekly holiday. In total, government employees will get 6 consecutive days of leave.
