The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has announced a province-wide public holiday on 1st Muharram ul Haram 1448 AH, marking the start of the Islamic new year.
The Administration Department issued an official notification confirming the public holiday, which will be observed across all government offices throughout the province.
The notification clearly states that the implementation of the holiday remains subject to the official moon sighting announcement made by the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee.
The final date of the holiday will be formally confirmed only after the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee officially announces the sighting of the Muharram moon.
