Mohammad Shafiee, spokesman for the organisation, said: "Operating hours for government executive agencies, banks, schools, higher education centres and guilds from April 6, 2025."

The announcement applies to military, police and security sectors, government offices, schools, universities and higher education centres, healthcare facilities and hospitals, businesses and marketplaces.

"The standardisation of working hours across all sectors aims to restore normal service delivery to citizens following the holiday period," Shafiee added.
