The government has announced the public holiday on the occasion of Shab-e-Barat to July 18 instead of July 17.
The public administration ministry on Monday in a circular rescheduled the holiday.
'As per the July 2 decision of the National Moon Sighting Committee, Shab-e-Barat will be observed on the night of July 17. So the holiday will be on July 18 instead of July 17,' the circular said.
The holiday announcement, however, will not be applicable to the organisations run by their own rules and to those where the presence of the staff is a must, the circular says.
'Such offices and organisations will announce the holiday taking into consideration public interest,' the ministry said.
