Govt declares public holiday on Sept 6 for Eid Milad un Nabi
According to a notification issued by the Cabinet Division, the country will observe Eid Milad un Nabi of 1500 Hijri on September 6.
Last week, Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Chairman Maulana Abdul Khabeer Azad announced the date after failing to sight the Rabi ul Awal moon.
Maulana Azad told reporters that no credible moon sighting reports were received from across the country, adding that most regions experienced cloudy weather.
Notably, Muslims around the world celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), known as Eid Milad un Nabi, on the 12th of Rabi ul Awal — the third month of the Islamic lunar calendar.
The day is marked by public processions, events, and seminars shedding light on the Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Earlier, the Karachi Traffic Police banned heavy traffic in the metropolis on Rabi ul Awal 11 and 12 in light of various processions and events scheduled in accordance with Eid Milad un Nabi (PBUH).
Noting that rallies will be held on roads and link roads, the traffic police said that the decision has been made to ensure citizens' safety.
