Declare November 13 a holiday
The Holy Eid-ul-Fitr may be observed on November 14 if the Shawal Moon is sighted on the previous evening, otherwise Eid will be on the 15th.
Now the declared Eid holidays are on November 14-16 (Sunday-Tuesday). But if the moon is sighted on the 13th evening and the Eid is celebrated on the 14th, travelling would be highly inconvenient for the service holders.
Besides, due to Shab-e-Qadr holiday on the 11th (Thursday) and the weekly holiday on the 12th, very few employees would attend office on the 13th! Thus it is better to declare November 13 a holiday. This would be very logical and convenient.
