Cabinet body recommends a four-day Eid holiday

Chairman of the Cabinet Committee on Law and Order and Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque said on Tuesday the committee recommended to the cabinet for extending the Eid-ul-Azha holiday by one day and begin the vacation on June 27 instead of June 28, reports BSS.
"We have recommended to the cabinet for extending the Eid-ul-Azha holiday by one day more," Mozammel Haque told journalists after a meeting on law and order at the Home Ministry's conference room on the day.
He said, "If the cabinet passes our recommendation then the vacation will begin on June 27 instead of June 28 and through this, the Eid-ul-Azha holiday will be of four days."
About the meeting's decision, the minister said the government will not allow roadside temporary cattle markets during the Eid in the interest of free movement of homebound passengers through highways.
"We have instructed the DMP (Dhaka Metropolitan Police) Commissioner to talk with the City Corporation authorities about temporary cattle markets in and around the city during the Eid. They will select vacant space for cattle markets so that the city dwellers can easily buy their sacrificial animals," he said.
