Muslims celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr after a month of fasting in Ramadan. Usually, Saudi Arabia and some other Middle Eastern countries celebrate Eid a day before Bangladesh as the moon is sighted there early. Several districts in the country also celebrate Eid alongside Saudi Arabia. Assuming Mar 31 as Eid day, the interim government had earlier declared four days of holiday -- Mar 29, Mar 30, Apr 1 and Apr 2.
