Offices in Bangladesh resume after 4-day break
Govt seal
Dhaka, Oct 14 - Government offices, courts, banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions resumed on Monday after a 4-day holiday.
The government had earlier declared a holiday on Thursday (October 10) through an executive order in observance of Durga Puja. With the addition of a one-day extended Durga Puja holiday and two regular weekend days, people enjoyed a 4-day break.
Usually, there is only one public holiday for Bijoya Dashami. However, this year the interim government declared an additional holiday on the day of Saptami (Thursday), giving employees a 4-day break, including Friday and Saturday.
Meanwhile, schools and colleges will remain closed for nine days due to Durga Puja, Fateha-i-Yazdaham, Laxmi Puja, and Prabarana Purnima. When combined with the weekend, the total break will extend to 11 days. - UNB
