Wasit and Maysan announce official holiday days for this week

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Local authorities in Iraq's Wasit and Maysan provinces have announced the official holidays for government offices in the coming days. In Wasit, the public holiday this week falls on Wednesday and Thursday, while Maysan designated Tuesday and Wednesday as official holidays. The decisions were issued within the administrative and regulatory framework governing public sector operations, according to the local announcements. Government institutions will not provide services on the designated days. Separately, the Iraqi Council of Ministers announced last Saturday that next Thursday will also be declared an official public holiday. The cabinet decision applies as an official regulation directly affecting working arrangements across public institutions. No further details were immediately available on whether additional provinces would observe similar schedules.
