Government offices, banks, insurance companies, and courts in Bangladesh will reopen on Tuesday, March 24, following a seven-day public holiday for Eid-ul-Fitr that ends on Monday, March 23. The holiday began on March 17, with Eid-ul-Fitr celebrated nationwide on Saturday, March 21. The stock market and private institutions are also set to resume operations on the same day.

Employees will have only one working day before another break, as Thursday, March 26, marks Independence Day, followed by the regular weekend on Friday and Saturday. This will effectively give workers another three consecutive days off after just one day of work.

Journalists, officers, and staff of newspapers also return to work on Monday after a five-day Eid holiday declared by the Newspaper Owners’ Association of Bangladesh (NOAB) from March 19 to March 23.
