Pakistan is gearing up for what could potentially be a longer Eid holiday this year. As per meteorological forecasts, Eid-ul-Fitr is expected to fall on Wednesday, April 10th. Eid holidays for schools in Punjab are expected to last from April 9 to 14.
Eid holidays commence a day prior to the actual celebration, allowing for a period of preparation and festivity. In light of Eid falling on a Wednesday, the government is expected to announce a four-day holiday, extending from Tuesday through Friday. If the eid falls on April 10, then it could make four day holidays couple with the weekend and two extra holidays this year for government and private offices in Pakistan.
The Punjab government is yet to issue an official notification for Eid holidays, but it is expected that schools will observe six holidays from April 9 to 14 if Eid falls on April 10.
If Eidul Fitr falls on April 11, schools in Punjab will observe five holidays from April 9 to 14, and resume classes on April 15.
The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will make the final decision about Eidul Fitr after sighting the Shawal moon.
