According to the state government’s website, Governor Kathy Hochul recently signed a bill declaring March 23, 2025, the official day to celebrate. The resolution was first introduced in the Assembly by Assemblyman Nadir Sage and in the Senate by Senator John Love, HRNWW reports.
The legislation states that there are 194,000 Pakistani Americans living in the state of New York. The heritage day is meant to celebrate their culture and their contributions to the state.
