Shops in Sylhet will remain closed only on Thursday, February 12, the day of the national parliamentary election, according to a decision confirmed by local business leaders. Abdur Rahman Ripon, president of the Sylhet Metropolitan Business Unity Welfare Council and member secretary of the Bangladesh Shop Owners Association’s Sylhet district branch, stated that rumors about a two-day closure are incorrect.
Ripon explained that some unidentified individuals have been spreading misinformation suggesting shops would remain closed for two days, which has caused confusion among traders and the public. He clarified that the Bangladesh Shop Owners Association has not made any such decision. The central committee allows regional branches to decide independently whether to open or close shops based on local convenience.
The Sylhet district branch has therefore decided that all shops in the city will close only on election day, February 12, to facilitate the voting process and maintain order during the national election.
