5-day holiday for Eid-ul-Fitr, 6-day for Eid-ul-Adha, and 2-day for Durga Puja

The interim government's advisory council has approved the public holiday list for the upcoming year (2025).

According to the list, the government will grant a five-day holiday for the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr and six-day holiday for Eid-ul-Adha. Additionally, a two-day holiday has been declared for the Durga Puja.

Among these, there will be one general holiday for each of the two Eid.

The remaining days before and after Eid will be executive holidays.

For the Durga Puja, the general holiday will be on Vijaya Dashami, and the day before, Navami, will be an executive holiday.

A meeting of the advisory council was held at the Chief Advisor's office in Tejgaon on Thursday, chaired by Dr Muhammad Yunus.

Currently, the Eid holiday is for three days. However, in some years, it has been extended through executive orders.

This year, the government extended the Puja holiday by one day through an executive order.
