Staff Reporter :
The government has re-scheduled the office hours for all the government, semi-government, autonomous and semi-autonomous offices from 9am to 4pm daily and the new office hours will come into effect from 15 November. The decision was taken in the regular cabinet meeting held at the Prime Minister’s Office with

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the chair on Monday.
“Office schedule of all government, semi-government, autonomous and semi-autonomous institutions have been rescheduled and it would be effective from November 15,” Cabinet Secretary Khandkar Anwarul Islam told journalists after the meeting.
“As winter is coming, all government, semi-government, autonomous and semi-autonomous organisations in the country will run from 9 am to 4 pm until further instructions,” he added.
He, however, said that the Supreme Court and Bangladesh Bank will set the office hours of their respective organisations.
Earlier on 22 August, the government decided to run all government, semi-government, autonomous and semi-autonomous offices from 8am to 3pm instead of 9am to 5pm daily to save electricity.
