Additionally, on Fridays, all government offices will operate from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm to accommodate the Friday prayer break.
Moreover, Pakistan Railways has also adjusted the working hours for reservation offices during Ramadan, ensuring smoother operations for passengers.
As per the railway administration’s announcement, reservation offices working in two shifts will follow new schedules:
Morning shift: 7:30 am to 12:30 pm
Evening shift: 12:30 pm to 5:30 pm
On Fridays, there will be a break from 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm for Jumu'ah prayers.
