how the date of eid ul fiter
Salam. Advance eid mubarak to all muslim. Notification of eid vacations is very appreciable and showing vision of government. However, it is also requested that salary of august 2012 will be pay to all employs before eid sothat every one can celebrate eid ul fitar in joy. Thanks
AoA
Kindly pay salaries to the govt. employees before Eid ul Fitr 20112
Thanks
Good decision. Happy holidays everyone!
its good step by govt.it will be a huge relief for working class becuase most of ppl work in other cities and 5 days leave will give them time to go to their home stations and enjoy eid.v shud not complain every time.
Thank You PPP; Long Long weekend ahead! :)
We, as a nation do not deserve any holiday.
Hurray…… :)
@major-ji: very true
today after so many days i really want to shout out loud to my office..."chalo beta ab kat loooooooo" -D
People on these comments only know how to complain, complain and complain all the time!! Get over yourselves or stand in the next elections, come to power and change things.
@employed: @Shah: You have to understand the comment metaphorically. Individuals are exceptions. Really working nations prosper very fast.
Now business men will start yeiling that the entire Pakistan is shut down which has affected their export performance.
The slavery will never end from Pakistan until government will make strict rules for the traders and shopkeepers.
When there is no electricity in the shopping malls, the shopkeepers ask thier salemen to go out and block the road for the traffic and create panic and choas.
But when the salemen go to thier employers for casual, medical or emergency leave, the shopkeepers deduct the salary of the employee for the days he remain absent from the duty.
May Al-Mighty Allah teach a lesson to the shopkeepers who are in fact running "begar camps" in Pakistan.
Hurray...... :)
Take 2 leaves (thur-fri) and enjoy 9 days break :)
Major Ji it makes differnce for Private/Corporate Sector
@major-ji:
You must be joking. ET employees work 6 days a week. I work every sunday as well. And we will only be taking 2 days off for Eid.
Hum! it means Pakistan will close for mim whole week and maximium for 12 Days. I mean unoffical holidays starts from 14th August. I think it is better if our govt also follow the Western format that is 10-15 holidays on X-hmas & Easter. Any how Jashan-e-Azadi & Eid Mubarak and long chilled holidays to all.
Excellent.. Why not declare the other 2 weekdays as holiday as well because no one is going to show up for work ? Nothing like a long 9 day holiday. And we wonder why our country is under developed.
What difference it will make. Whole country is already on holidays.
