KARACHI: The Sindh government has declared a public holiday on Wednesday, 28 May, in observance of Youm-e-Takbeer, marking a significant day of national pride and remembrance. An official notification has confirmed that all government and private institutions across the province will remain closed for the day.
Youm-e-Takbeer commemorates Pakistan’s historic achievement in successfully conducting nuclear tests in 1998, a moment that cemented the country’s position as a nuclear power. The day holds deep significance for many Pakistanis, symbolising resilience and national strength.
The announcement of the holiday ensures that citizens have the opportunity to participate in official ceremonies, educational events, and patriotic activities planned to mark this important occasion. By closing institutions, the government aims to allow wider public engagement and reflection on the country’s strategic achievements.
This move also reflects the province’s alignment with national observances, reinforcing the collective spirit of unity and pride in Pakistan’s defence and scientific milestones. As the day approaches, preparations are expected to be underway to celebrate Youm-e-Takbeer with due honour and enthusiasm across Sindh.
