Journalists, officials and employees working in newspapers have got 6 consecutive days off on this holy Eid-ul-Fitr. According to the custom, journalists enjoy three days off every year from 29 Ramadan to Eid. When 30 days of fasting are completed, this holiday becomes four days. According to that, the maximum holiday is supposed to be from April 9 to 12. But this time, a day after the Eid holiday, April 14 is Pahela Baisakh, so the media is again going to fall into the trap of the government-scheduled holiday.Newspaper Owners Association of Bangladesh (NOAB) has decided to declare a special holiday on April 13 for this.
An official announcement was made in this regard after the Nawab's meeting on Saturday (April 6). As a result, the media workers got 6 consecutive days off from April 9 to 14. However, this Eid holiday of 6 days is a unique record.Because the press has never been closed for 6 days after independence. If you want to know, Nawab's treasurer and editor-in-chief of Manabzamin newspaper, Matiur Rahman Chowdhury said, this time, since Pahela Baisakh falls in a gap of one day between the Eid holidays, a special day is being given in between.
