Govt. declares July 16 as July Martyrs Day

Staff Reporter:

The government yesterday declared July 16 as “July Martyrs Day”.
A Cabinet Division in a gazette notification asked all concerned ministries, departments and organizations
to observe the day as “July Martyrs Day”.
According to the notification the government decided to include this date as a 'Kha' category day in a list
of special dates with national and international relevance.
The same notification scrapped an earlier Cabinet Division circular relating to the observance of the day.
