The government has announced an extension of public holidays for Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Azha to five and six days, respectively, while granting two days for Durga Puja celebrations.
This decision was made during an advisory council meeting held at the Chief Adviser’s Office in Tejgaon on Thursday.
Previously, the public holidays for both Eid festivals were three days, and one day was allocated for Durga Puja.
The proposal to extend these holidays was submitted by the Public Administration Ministry and has now been approved by the advisory council.
The extension aims to provide citizens with more time to celebrate these significant religious occasions, allowing families to come together and participate in traditional festivities.
The decision is expected to be welcomed by communities across the country as they prepare for the upcoming celebrations.
Details regarding the specific dates for the holidays will be communicated by the government in due course, ensuring that the public is informed well ahead of the festivities.
