ISLAMABAD: The Cabinet Division has revised the Eidul Azha holidays notification, adding June 28 to the list. As a result, federal government employees will have three holidays in addition to their two weekly days off.

The notification, reissued on Thursday, states that Eid holidays will start from Wednesday, June 28, to Friday, June 30, for offices that observe a five-day working week.

While, for offices that observe a six-day working week, the Eid holidays will be from Wednesday, June 28, to Saturday, July 1.
