Government offices, banks, and financial institutions across the country will reopen on Sunday (June 15) after a 10-day holiday marking Eid-ul-Azha.
Muslims in Bangladesh celebrated Eid-ul-Azha, the second largest religious festival, on June 7. The last working day for government employees was June 4, with the holiday running from June 5 to 14, UNB reports.
The government initially announced a six-day holiday from June 5 to 10. Later, June 11 and 12 (Wednesday and Thursday) were also declared holidays through an executive order, bringing the total to ten consecutive days off for public sector employees.
Although many holidaymakers have already started returning to the capital, Dhaka is yet to regain its usual hustle and bustle.
