The government has set the office timing for the upcoming holy month of Ramadan – from 9 am to 3:30 pm – for all government, semi-government, autonomous and semi-autonomous institutions.

The decision was taken today at the weekly cabinet meeting held with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the chair at the PMO.

“During Ramadan, 9 am to 3:30 pm has been set as office hours,” Cabinet Secretary Mahbub Hossain said while briefing reporters.

He said there will be a 15-minute break from 1:15 to 1:30 pm for Zuhr prayers.
