In observance of the holy month of Ramadan, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has announced a reduction in official working hours across all government institutions.

According to the directive, working hours will be shortened by one hour during the month to accommodate employees who are fasting. The decision aligns with annual adjustments made during Ramadan to ensure a more manageable work schedule for public sector workers.

The reduced hours will be in effect for the duration of Ramadan, after which normal schedules will resume. Government institutions and employees are expected to adhere to the revised timetable accordingly.

Ramadan, observed by Muslims worldwide, is a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection. The adjustment in working hours is a common practice in many Muslim-majority regions to support those observing the fast.
