F.P. Report

KARACHI: The Sindh government has officially declared a two-day public holiday in observance of Ashura, falling on the 9th and 10th of Muharram – corresponding to July 5 and 6, 2025.

According to a notification issued by the Sindh Chief Secretary, all government and private offices, as well as educational institutions across the province, will remain closed on these dates.

However, the notification clarifies that government departments and administrative bodies involved in Muharram-related processions and security duties will operate as usual.

The holiday announcement does not apply to employees working in essential services.

Ashura, observed with religious solemnity and reverence, will be commemorated across Pakistan on July 6.

The federal government has already announced nationwide public holidays on the same dates earlier this week.
