This initiative aims to support employee well-being while ensuring business continuity across government entities.
The Holy Month is expected to begin on March 1, though official dates are subject to confirmation based on the moon sighting.
Ramadan, the holiest month in Islam, is observed by Muslims around the world as a time of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community.
