Public holiday announced in Pakistan on September 6?

Pakistan celebrates Defence Day every year on September 6, marking the 1965 military victory against a surprise attack by the Indian army, symbolizing national unity and resilience.

In previous years, this day was observed as a public holiday, but for 2024, the Federal Cabinet Division has not declared September 6 as an official holiday.

Despite rumors circulating, no official announcement for a holiday on this date has been made, unlike the decision to declare May 28 a holiday for Youm-e-Takbeer. People are advised to seek information from reliable sources to avoid confusion.

Defence Day is a reminder of the nation’s unity and steadfastness against the enemy’s attempts to invade.
