Eidul Fitr 2024: How Many Holidays Pakistanis Will Enjoy. According to a private news channel, citing sources from the Meteorological Department, Pakistanis are expected to have six holidays for the celebration of Eidul Fitr.

According to the calendar introduced by Chaudhary, Muslims across the country will observe 29 fasts this year. This indicates that Eidul Fitr will be celebrated across Pakistan on April 10.
Typically, Eid holidays commence a day earlier than the anticipated date to allow for preparations and festivities.
If the government declares a four-day holiday starting from April 9 (Tuesday) to April 12 (Friday), and considering the usual weekend holidays on Saturday and Sunday observed by both government and some private offices, it would result in a total of six holidays.
