Changes in Working Hours during Ramadan
While setting the office timings this year Government considered the following key principles or we can say baseline and thought it would be worth sharing.

- Maintain flexibility.
Timings for offices in Punjab
Recently, The S&GAD department, of the Government of Punjab issues a notification about the revised Ramadan Timing schedule. There are some changes made to the previous schedule.
Office Timings during the Month of Ramazan
Here I describe to you the office timings as per the type of offices in relation to working days. The office timings for offices are according to the working days. There are offices working for 5 days a week. Similarly, there are also some offices working for 6 days a week. The office timings schedule for both types of office is here. Now there is a question about the school timings. Many districts already announced the School Timings during the Holy Month of Ramazan 2023 as per previous notification of the Govt of Punjab. Whether they will also issue the revised Notification or the timings for schools will remain the same? I hope you will get the answer of this question in a couple of days.
