The government is thinking about not having Saturday as a holiday anymore. We heard this news on Tuesday from people we trust.
The Cabinet Division asked ministries for their thoughts. They’re thinking about stopping Saturday as a holiday.
They will suggest this to the federal cabinet after getting feedback. They want the final okay.
Some reports say having Saturday off isn’t useful. They might talk about this after Eid-ul-Adha.
Maybe Saturday won’t be a day off anymore for government workers. They might not get Saturdays off.
The government found out that having Saturday off doesn’t save electricity. The costs are the same. It’s also tough for people.
From July 1, departments might change. They’ll only take Sundays off every week
Saturday Holidays in 2022
The government said Saturday will be a holiday again for offices and schools. They decided this today in Islamabad.
The Power Division wanted this to save energy because there’s not enough electricity. In 2022, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said people should work less.
He said Friday could be a half-day and Saturday and Sunday should be days off.
Two weeks ago, they talked about this idea in a meeting. But before he went to Turkey, the Prime Minister denied.
