Nine-day Eid vacation begins
A nine-day vacation begins in the country today on the occasion of holy Eid-ul-Fitr, the largest religious festival of the Muslims, reports BSS.
The government service-holders will enjoy holidays for nine days at a stretch as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina declared July 4 as holiday by an executive order.
July 4 was the only workday between the Eid holidays and the declaration of the day as a public holiday paved the way for a nine-day vacation starting from today.
However, the government employees will have to make up for July 4 by attending offices on July 16 (Saturday).
The first two days of July are weekend and July 3 will be another holiday for Shab-e-Qadr. The next three days will be the official holiday for Eid-ul-Firt followed by another weekend on July 8 and 9. As a result, the public servants will enjoy vacation from July 1 to July 9.
The Eid will be observed either on July 6 or 7 depending on sighting of the new moon of the Arabic month of Shawal. Today was the last working day before the Eid. About 1.3 million public servants will join their offices after the Eid vacation on July 10.
