The Sindh government on Friday announced four holidays on account of Eidul Azha next week.

According to the notification, general holidays will be observed across the province from May 26 to May 29, with Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday declared public holidays.

“The government of Sindh hereby declares 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th May, 2026 (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) as public holidays on the occasion of Eidul Azha (09th to 12th Zil Hajj-1447 AH) throughout the province of Sindh,” a notification stated.

It added that the holidays would apply to all government, semi-government and municipal institutions across the province. However, employees of essential services, as well as staff engaged in budget preparation, would remain exempt from the holiday schedule.

The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee had previously announced that the moon of Zilhajj 1447 AH had been sighted in the country, adding that Eidul Azha would be observed on May 27.

Following the announcement, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif approved a three-day public holiday on the occasion of Eidul Azha from May 26 to 28 (Tuesday to Thursday).
