Offices to reopen on Monday after Eid vacation

The government offices, banks, stock markets are set to resume on Monday (April 15) after five days of Eid and Pahela Baishakh vacation.

The holidaymakers are arriving in the capital after celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr, one of the biggest religious festivals for the Muslims, in their native homes throughout the country.

On the occasion of Eid, April 10 to April 12 (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday) were public holidays. After Eid, there was a weekly holiday on Saturday (April 13) and a Bengali New Year holiday on the occasion of Pahela Baishakh on Sunday (April 14). As a result, employees will join their offices after enjoying five straight holidays.

However, many of the government and private sector workers who have gone outside Dhaka for Eid have taken optional leave. As a result, it will take a few more days to start the proceedings in full swing in the offices, courts, banks, and stock market.

Besides, schools and colleges will also open next week. Then the capital will return to normal.
