Meanwhile, the return rush of people heading back to the capital has begun after the Eid vacation. Since Saturday and Sunday, working professionals have been returning to Dhaka by road, rail, and waterways from different regions of the country. As a result, traffic pressure on the capital’s streets is gradually starting to increase.
However, like every year, stakeholders expect that work activity in offices might be relatively low on the first working day after Eid. Many employees spend their time exchanging Eid greetings with colleagues, and many institutions run their operations on a limited scale on the opening day.
The banking sector also generally experiences lower transaction pressure on the first working day, unless urgent. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that busy schedules will pick up throughout the week to quickly settle various financial and commercial activities accumulated during the holidays.
Officials note that following the long break, administrative, financial, and commercial activities in the capital and across the country will begin returning to their normal rhythm on Monday.
This year, a public holiday was declared from May 25 to May 31 on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha. Combined with the weekly holidays, government officials and employees enjoyed a consecutive seven-day vacation. Hundreds of thousands of professionals will return to their workplaces on Monday after this extended break.
