Karachi: The Sindh government has announced a public holiday on Saturday, December 27, on the occasion of the death anniversary of former Prime Minister Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. An official notification of this decision was issued by the provincial labor department from Karachi.
The notification states that government offices across the province will remain closed, while the holiday will also apply to educational institutions and other institutions. According to officials, the aim of this move is to remember the services and sacrifices of the national leader.
