Back in the good ol’ days, Friday and Saturday were holiday for schools and most offices. But now, Friday is a working day, and Saturday & Sunday are holidays. So how do people manage the Friday prayers? People just go from work, or is Friday a half day?

Prayer time is usually 1:30, so people take lunch at 12, go back at 1, and then take another break at 1:30?

In private organization - the lunch and prayer timing on friday is - 13:00 to 15:00 -

In govt ogranization , 75 % of staff doesnt come back after Jummah prayers - official break timing is now 13:00 to 14:30 , half an hour less due to Saturdays treated as non working days .
