  "summary": "The government has announced a public holiday on August 26, 2026, to mark Eid Miladun Nabi, the birth of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). This decision comes after the Central Ruet-i-Hilal Committee Chairman, Maulana Abdul Khabeer Azad, announced that the Rabiul Awwal moon was not sighted on August 13, leading to the shift of Eid-i-Miladun Nabi to August 26. The announcement was made by the Cabinet Division, following a previous circular from January 19 regarding public and optional holidays for the current year.",
