Karachi: The Sindh government has declared a public holiday across the province on Friday, August 9, on the occasion of the 281st annual Urs of the great Sufi poet and spiritual leader Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai.
According to the official notification, all government offices, semi-government institutions, and educational institutions in Sindh province will remain closed on that day.
