BSS, Dhaka :
Most business establishments, shopping malls and shops remained closed in the city though the banks and other financial institutions reopened today after a six-day Eid-ul-Azha vacation.
The attendance of officials and employees at banks and financial institutions in city’s Motijheel area was less than normal and 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.
Uttara Bank Additional Managing Director Mohammed Mosharaf Hussain said though the vacation was for six days, the Eid was celebrated only two days ago and the Eid zest is yet to exhaust.
He said most of the officers and employees attended the banks yesterday, 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, Mosharaf Hussain said and hoped that transaction will be increasing gradually and 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. Therefore, the transaction was very low.
In New Market-Nilkhet areas, it was seen that most of the markets and shops were closed.
Businesspeople said it will take one week to reopen the markets and shops fully.
