Public Holiday Declared on October 20, 2025
The Sindh government has declared October 20, 2025 as a public holiday for the Hindu community to celebrate the festival of Holi.
The official notice was shared on Friday, giving Hindu citizens across Sindh a chance to celebrate with joy.
Details about leave
The notification said the holiday will be applicable to both government and private institutions in Sindh.
This means that schools, offices and companies will give a day off to their Hindu employees and students so that they can enjoy Holi with their families.
Sindh government also said that October 20 will be a special day for the Hindu community to celebrate the festival with happiness, colors and peace.
Why is this holiday important
Holi, known as the festival of colors, is one of the most favorite Hindu festivals.
It celebrates the arrival of spring and the victory of good over evil.
Sindh government said that the purpose of this holiday is to give people an opportunity to celebrate their religion openly and spend time with family and friends.
The government has also asked all offices and departments to follow this order properly.
Where the Holiday Will Apply
This public holiday will be observed only in Sindh province.
The federal government has not declared a holiday for the whole country.
In other provinces like Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan, October 20 will be an optional holiday for Hindu employees.
That means they can take leave if they want to celebrate Holi, but it will not be a public holiday for everyone.
Government’s Message
In its statement, the Sindh government said:
“We send warm greetings and best wishes to our Hindu brothers and sisters on Holi. May this festival bring peace, love, and happiness to all.”
Final Words
The holiday shows respect for all religions and promotes unity among different communities in Pakistan.
By announcing a day off for Holi, the Sindh government has shown that it values peace, diversity, and equality.
On October 20, 2025, the Hindu community in Sindh will celebrate Holi with colors, music, and joy, spreading happiness all around. 🌸
