Bank branches in RMG industrial areas to remain open on June 14-16

Branches of the scheduled banks in the readymade garments (RMG) industrial areas will remain open on June 14-16 to facilitate payment of garment workers’ salaries, Eid bonuses, allowances and export-import activities.

Bangladesh Bank (BB) on Sunday gave the directive to the scheduled banks through a circular.

The central bank has asked banks to continue operations before Eid-ul-Azha in the branches located near garment industrial areas in Dhaka city, Ashulia, Tongi, Gazipur, Savar, Bhaluka, Narayanganj and Chattogram ensuring adequate security.

Eid-ul-Azha, the largest religious festival for Muslims, will be celebrated in Bangladesh on June 17.
