Eidul Fitr 2024: According to a news channel, citing Meteorological Department sources, Pakistanis are expected to enjoy six holidays in celebration of Eidul Fitr.
The news channel mentioned that Eidul Fitr is expected to be celebrated around April 10. It’s worth noting that in 2019, the former federal minister of Science and Technology, Fawad Chaudhary, introduced the Lunar calendar to help deal with issues related to moon sightings.
According to the calendar introduced by Chaudhary, Muslims across the country will observe 29 fasts this year. This means that Eidul Fitr will be celebrated across Pakistan on April 10.
Typically, Eid holidays begin a day earlier than the expected date to allow for preparations and festivities.
If the government declares a four-day holiday from April 9 (Tuesday) to April 12 (Friday), along with the usual weekend break on Saturday and Sunday, it would mean a total of six days off for both government and some private offices.
The final decision on the holiday schedule will be made after consultations with the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) and other relevant departments.
