Following a recommendation from the Cabinet Committee on Law and Order, the Cabinet has decided against extending Eid holidays. Despite the proposal to extend the Eid-ul-Fitr holidays by one day, starting from April 9, government offices will remain open on that day. The decision was made during a Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at the Prime Minister's Office on Monday. Previously, the government had declared April 10-12 as Eid vacation days, with Eid-ul-Fitr expected to be observed on April 11, pending moon sighting. Additionally, since April 13 falls on a Saturday and April 14 is Pohela Boishakh, the holidays will naturally extend by two days for many individuals.
