The government has officially announced that May 16 will be observed as “Youm-e-Tashakur” (Day of Gratitude) across the country to mark the nation’s successful response in Operation Bunyad-e-Marsous and the Maarka-e-Haq campaign.
Following this announcement, a notification began circulating widely on social media claiming that May 16 would be declared a public holiday, with all educational institutions and government offices remaining closed.
However, official sources have categorically denied the authenticity of this notification. They clarified that no public holiday has been declared on May 16, and the viral notification is completely fake.
Authorities have urged the public to rely only on verified government channels for such announcements and warned against spreading misleading or forged documents online.
