Sindh will also observe another public holiday earlier in the week on December 25. The date coincides with Christmas and the birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan.
On December 25, government offices throughout Sindh will remain closed to honor both occasions, in line with the annual public holiday schedule.
