Public offices, banks, and financial institutions across Bangladesh are set to resume operations on Monday as the week-long government holiday for Eid-ul-Adha concludes today. The nationwide break, which began on May 25, officially ends Sunday, marking the return of normalcy for the public and private sectors.

While administrative functions officially restart tomorrow, attendance is expected to be gradual throughout the week. Many employees traditionally extend their leave beyond the state-mandated break, and industry analysts suggest that the professional atmosphere will likely remain subdued for the next few days. It is anticipated that offices will return to full operational capacity by next Sunday.

The transition back to work has prompted a significant migration toward major urban centers, particularly Dhaka. Transport hubs, including bus terminals, railway stations, and river ports, are experiencing a steady increase in passenger volume as travelers conclude their holiday festivities.
