The government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir has abolished the Friday weekly holiday in government offices, declaring it a full working day following approval from the President.
According to a notification issued by the Services and General Administration Department (S&GAD), the decision will take immediate effect across all government departments.
We’ve asked all offices to follow a full working schedule on Fridays to improve public service delivery and increase administrative efficiency.
We have circulated the notification to all divisions, universities, and key institutions, including the offices of the Inspector-General of Police and the Accountant General, for implementation and compliance.
Officials said the move aims to enhance governance and facilitate better service provision for citizens across the region.
