According to a notification issued here, Hindu employees in Sindh will observe a holiday on Thursday and Friday to celebrate Holi. This move is seen as a gesture of goodwill and inclusivity towards the Hindu community in the province.
Separately, the Mumbai police in India have issued a strict advisory for those celebrating Holi during Ramadan, which will be in effect until March 18, 2025. The advisory urges caution and restraint during the celebrations, considering the holy month of Ramadan.
Meanwhile, in Pakistan, extended holidays on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr are possible, although the government has yet to make an official announcement.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) predicted a ‘good chance’ of sighting Shawal’s 1446 AH moon on March 30th, 2025. It predicted that Ramadan month may last for 29 days this year, and Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated on March 31, 2025. Typically, Eid holidays begin a day before the actual Eid day, so if Eid-ul-Fitr falls on a Monday, March 31, the holidays will commence from Monday.
