Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has given his nod to the Cabinet Division’s proposal regarding Eid-ul-Adha holidays.
The holidays run from June 17th to June 19th. This decision comes after the Cabinet Division forwarded the summary of the proposed Eid holidays to the Prime Minister’s Secretariat for review.
