Bangladesh has begun a seven-day public holiday from Tuesday, March 17, 2026, on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. Monday was the last working day before the break, after which large numbers of people started leaving cities for their hometowns. Depending on the sighting of the moon, Eid-ul-Fitr, the largest religious festival for Muslims in the country, is expected to be celebrated on Saturday, March 21.
The Ministry of Public Administration had earlier fixed a five-day holiday from March 19 to 23, including the main Eid day on March 21. To ease travel for holidaymakers, the government later added March 18 as an additional holiday through an executive order, combining it with the Shab-e-Qadr holiday on March 17 to make a continuous seven-day break for government employees.
Essential services such as electricity, water, gas, fire service, port operations, sanitation, telecommunications, postal services, and emergency medical facilities will remain operational during the holiday period, ensuring uninterrupted public service.
