Public holiday in Karachi announced by Barrister Murtaza Wahab, Mayor of Karachi.
The mayor declared a local holiday in Karachi on Saturday, June 29, to mark the annual Urs of Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ghazi. This decision affects all non-essential services under the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation’s jurisdiction, allowing residents to observe this significant event peacefully.
The holiday, sanctioned through City Council Resolution Number 594, aims to honor the revered saint and accommodate the city’s religious observances. Essential services, however, will continue uninterrupted during this period.
Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ghazi, a revered figure in Karachi’s cultural and spiritual heritage, attracts devotees and visitors alike to celebrate his life and teachings each year. The local holiday reflects the city’s respect for its diverse religious traditions and is expected to foster a sense of community among Karachi’s residents.
