The Cabinet Committee on Law and Order and Liberation War Affairs today (June 13) recommended for extending the Eid-ul-Azha holiday by one day starting on June 27 instead of June 28.

Chairman of the Cabinet Committee on Law and Order and Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque made the recommendation during a meeting.

The minister said this to journalists after the meeting. 

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 four days.”

About the meeting’s decisions, 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.
