Banks to remain open in some areas from Wednesday
Banks will remain open in some areas from Wednesday for three days.
Banks will remain open in some areas from Wednesday for three days although banking service will remain suspended today on the occasion of holy Shab-e-Qadr and Eid vacation is scheduled to begin from Thursday.
Department of Off-site Supervision of Bangladesh Bank has issued a circular in this regard recently.
The central bank in the circular asked banks to remain open, albeit on a limited scale, in the industrial areas, including Dhaka city, during the public holidays on April 19-21.
The central bank took the decision in order to facilitate the payments of salaries, wages and festival allowances to garment workers ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr, the largest religious festival for Muslims.
Other areas where the banking service will also be available are Ashulia, Tongi, Gazipur, Savar, Bhaluka, Narayanganj, and Chattogram.
