The government has announced that July 16 will be observed as "July Shaheed Day" but it will not be a public holiday, as it falls under the 'B' category of observance days. In contrast, August 5 has been declared a public holiday as "July Mass Uprising Day," categorized under 'A' days. The Cabinet Division issued the circular on July 2. All schools and colleges, both public and private, have been instructed to observe both days with appropriate programs by the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education.
