Additionally, it gave instructions to keep bank branches open in Chattogram’s commercial and industrial districts.
The central bank instructed banks to work with local authorities to set up proper security in bank branches.
On June 29, the nation will celebrate the auspicious Eid-ul-Azha.
From June 27 to June 30, the government has extended the Eid-ul-Azha holidays by four days.
