The Bangladeshi government has extended the Durga Puja holiday by one day, making October 10th an official public holiday. This decision, announced by Mahfuz Alam, aims to accommodate the Hindu community's request for a longer celebration period from Shashthi to Dashami. With this extension, the festival will now feature a four-day holiday, including the preceding weekend. Additionally, support will be provided to affected families within the Hindu community.
