Pakistan will observe a public holiday on May 28 to commemorate Youm-e-Takbeer, the day the country became a nuclear power. This important day marks a major milestone in Pakistan’s history, symbolizing national strength, independence, and technological achievement.
All government offices, semi-government departments, and educational institutions across the country will remain closed on this day. The federal government officially added May 28 to the national holiday calendar in December 2024, recognizing its importance in the nation’s history.
Special events such as ceremonies, seminars, and rallies will be held throughout the country to pay tribute to the scientists, leaders, and all those who played a role in making Pakistan a nuclear state. These events aim to highlight the significance of the day and remind the nation of the strength and unity it represents.
The Sindh government has also confirmed that May 28 will be observed as a public holiday, and the Pakistan Stock Exchange will remain closed as well.
Youm-e-Takbeer is celebrated every year as a source of pride for the people of Pakistan. It serves as a reminder of the country’s achievements in defense and science, and the determination of the nation to stand strong and self-reliant in the face of global challenges.
