In a recent development, the government’s announcement of Eid-ul-Fitr holidays from April 10th to 13th has left many citizens worried, particularly those planning to visit their ancestral areas during the festive occasion.
Traditionally, a holiday is declared one day before Eid for both Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha. However, this year, the government did not make such an announcement, causing inconvenience and uncertainty for travelers.
A concerned citizen highlighted the challenges this decision poses, especially since previous Eid holidays were preceded by a day-off to facilitate travel arrangements.
The absence of a pre-Eid holiday, particularly on April 9th, has put citizens in a difficult situation, questioning how they will manage to reach their ancestral areas if Eid falls on April 10th.
In light of these concerns, citizens are urging the government to reconsider and announce a holiday on April 9th, one day before Eid-ul-Fitr holiday, to accommodate those planning to visit their ancestral areas.
This development underscores the need for clear and timely communication regarding holiday schedules to avoid disruptions and ensure a smooth Eid celebration for all citizens.
