This announcement was made through a federal notification aimed at marking an important national occasion, giving citizens a day off to rest and participate in commemorative events.

The holiday will bring relief to many Pakistanis by providing a midweek break, and for some, the chance to enjoy a longer weekend.

This decision affects government offices, educational institutions, and most private-sector businesses across the country.

According to the official notification, all government offices, schools, colleges, and universities will remain closed on 23 September.

Additionally, banks and financial institutions will observe the holiday, although essential emergency services will continue to operate as usual to avoid disruption.

The move is expected to allow people to observe the significance of the occasion while spending quality time with family and friends.

Citizens are advised to plan accordingly, especially regarding banking and official work, as many services will not be available on the holiday.

The government encourages everyone to take part in the observances and use the day for rest and reflection.

This public holiday reaffirms Pakistan’s commitment to honoring its heritage and fostering unity among its people.
