Daily Bangla Times: The Bangladesh Bank yesterday asked banks to remain open, albeit on a limited scale, in the industrial areas, including Dhaka city, during the public holidays on April 19-21.
The central bank took the decision in order to facilitate the payments of salaries, wages and festival allowances to garment workers ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr.
Other areas where the banking service will also be available are Ashulia, Tongi, Gazipur, Savar, Bhaluka, Narayanganj, and Chattogram.
Clients will be able to do banking between 9:30 am and 1pm on April 19 and April 20 respectively. The banking hours will be between 9:30 am and 12:30 pm on April 21.
Eid-ul-Fitr, the largest religious festival for Muslims, is likely to be celebrated in Bangladesh either on April 22 or April 23, depending on the sighting of the moon.
