Those who have a weekend that includes both Saturday and Sunday will enjoy a nine-day break, and they will return to work on Monday, April 15, if the astronomical predictions turn out to be right.
A seven-day break will be observed for Eid al Fitr, beginning on Tuesday, April 8, and ending on Friday, April 12, in the event that the crescent moon is not seen and it is a thirty-day Ramadan.
