The BNP-led government has issued a new circular revising the list of national and international days to be officially observed. Released by the Cabinet Division on March 11, the circular maintains the previous interim government’s decision to cancel several commemorative days introduced during the Hasina administration. These include the observances of March 7, March 17, August 5, August 8, August 15, October 18, November 4, and December 12.
The circular also confirms that August 5 will now be marked as July Uprising Day, commemorating the fall of the Awami League government, while July 16 will be observed as July Martyrs’ Day in memory of a student killed during the 2024 protests in Rangpur. The classification of days remains divided into three categories—A, B, and C—based on national significance and scale of observance. Ministers will participate in major events, and up to 50,000 taka may be allocated for organizing A-category programs.
The directive advises ministries to avoid repetitive or low-priority observances to conserve government time and resources, emphasizing efficiency in official commemorations.
