The interim government has officially declared August 5 as ‘July Uprising Day’ and announced a public holiday to mark the occasion. Earlier, July 16 was designated as ‘July Martyrs’ Day’, and August 8 was announced as ‘New Bangladesh Day’. However, due to widespread public criticism, the decision to observe August 8 has since been withdrawn.

Separate circulars were issued by the Cabinet Division outlining the significance and observance of each day.
