      <title>Pakistanis may enjoy extended holidays for Eidul Fitr 2025</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eidul Fitr 2025 can likely bring a long nine-day holiday period for people in Pakistan, reports said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330404493/suparco-predicts-dates-for-first-ramazan-and-eid-al-fitr-in-pakistan"&gt;predicted&lt;/a&gt; that Eid in Pakistan could fall on March 31.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Public holidays for the festival usually span three days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But it could lead to nine consecutive days off, including the weekends, if the government declares official holidays from March 29 (Saturday) to April 2 (Wednesday), and grants extra leave on April 3 and 4 (Thursday and Friday).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An official announcement of the moon sighting would determine the final holiday schedule.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Shawwal moon is expected to be visible on March 30, suggesting that March 31 would likely be the date for Eid, according to the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ramazan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is a time dedicated to fasting, prayer, and charitable acts.&lt;/p&gt;
