RAJSHAHI, Aug 14, 2019 (BSS) – All the government, semi-government and
private offices, including banks and financial institutions, resumed today
after the Eid vacation.
Attendance at the City Bhaban, the offices of divisional commissioner and
deputy commissioner, Rail Bhaban, water development board, sericulture
building, RAKUB headquarters, RDA Bhaban, Barendra Bhaban, RMP headquarters and Roads and Highway building was thin as more than half of the officers and employees did not return yet from their native homes.
Sources concerned said the offices and courts will take their usual look
from Sunday next, after the weekend.
However, some people were seen rushing to their respective offices to
dispose of their pending urgent works on the opening day.
Meanwhile, a festive mood is prevailing at most of the offices.
Officials and employees were seen exchanging Eid greetings and hugging one another.
The people who went to their village homes to celebrate the Eid with their
relatives have started to return to the city to join work.
City streets still remain free from the usual traffic jam.
Many people, especially the teenagers, are still enjoying the festivity of
the Eid in the city.
They were seen visiting the amusement spots, especially the bank of the
river Padma, with enthusiasm and joy.
Braving the inclement weather, thousands of people, especially children,
poured in and around the city’s parks, historic places and other recreational
centres to enjoy the Eid-ul-Azha vacation.
