Postponement of Holiday on Account of Urs Sheikh Noor-Ud-Din Sahib

Jammu, September 27, 2024: The Government of Jammu & Kashmir has announced the postponement of the holiday scheduled for September 30, 2024 (Monday), on account of Urs Sheikh Noor-Ud-Din Noorani (RA). According to an official communication from the Revenue Department, this decision follows a recommendation from the CEO of the J&K Waqf Board, based on the appearance of the moon and the calculated date for the 26th of Rabi-us-Sani, when the Urs is traditionally celebrated.

The Waqf Board’s letter to the government noted that the Urs is now expected to fall in the last week of October 2024. In response, the government has requested the General Administration Department to reconsider and postpone the holiday initially scheduled for September 30. A new date for the holiday will be announced after the final recommendation from the CEO of the J&K Waqf Board.

Further information on the revised holiday will be communicated separately once the date is finalized.
