Hasina will also issue instructions regarding the ‘general holidays’ via video conferencing with deputy commissioners and local representatives of a few districts, a government official told bdnews24.com.

The government enforced a nationwide shutdown of offices, schools and public transport, which it termed a 'holiday', on Mar 26 and has since prolonged it in phases.
