Most of the business establishments, shopping malls and shops remained closed in the city though the banks and other financial institutions reopened on Sunday after a nine-day vacation marking the holy Eid-ul-Fitr.
The attendance of officials and employees at banks and financial institutions in city’s Motijheel area was normal but they had to spend time in leisure as the number of service-seekers was poor.
The officials were seen exchanging Eid greetings with one another and their clients.
However, normal activities started at Bangladesh Bank on the very first workday after the Eid.
Uttara Bank Additional Managing Director Mohammad Ashraf Hossain said though the vacation was for nine days, the Eid was celebrated only two days ago and the Eid zest is yet to exhaust.
He said the more than 90 percent officers and employees attended the banks today, but the transaction was very low for lack of clients.
The number of clients is poor as the shops and business establishments are yet to reopen, Ashraf Hossain said and hoped that transaction will be increasing gradually in the current week and it will become normal in the next week.
IFTC Bank Darus Salam Road Branch Manager M Nazmul Islam said there were ordinary clients in the bank today but the number of businessmen was poor.
