The Punjab government has announced two consecutive public holidays in March 2025, affecting schools, colleges, and government offices. These holidays have been declared in observance of historical and religious events, providing a much-needed break for students and employees.
Punjab will observe a statewide holiday on March 23, 2025, in honor of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru, who sacrificed their lives for the nation’s independence. However, since this day falls on a Sunday, it is already a scheduled public holiday.
The festival of Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated on Monday, March 31, 2025, and the state government has declared it a public holiday.
