ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The 81st Pakistan Day is being celebrated on Tuesday with a renewed commitment to work hard for the progress and stability of the Country.

The Day dawned with a 31-gun salute in the Federal Capital and 21-gun salute in Provincial Capitals.

Special prayers were offered in mosques after Fajr prayers for the progress, prosperity, and solidarity of the Country.

It is a public holiday today and the national flag has been mounted on major government buildings.

The annual Joint Services Pakistan Day Parade, which was scheduled on Tuesday, will now be held on March 25, 2021 at Shakarparian Parade Ground in Islamabad.

Due to ongoing inclement weather and rains forecasted over next two days, Pakistan Day Parade has been rescheduled. The Joint Services Pakistan Day Parade will now be held on 25th March 2021 as per program and timings already specified,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Monday.
