The government has extended Eid-ul-Azha holiday by one day, making it a four-day celebration. 

The decision was made during a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. 

Initially planned for June 28 to 30, the holiday will now start from June 27, potentially extending to June 30 if Eid-ul-Azha falls on June 29 based on the moon sighting. 

Additionally, July 1, being a weekend, adds an extra day, resulting in a five-day Eid holiday for government officials this year.
