Regarding keeping branches of concerned banks open on weekly holidays (Saturdays) in limited scale during the mango season

Dear Sir,

In view of the permanent/temporary mango markets that have emerged in various upazilas of Chapainawabganj (Shibganj, Chapainawabganj Sadar, Gomastapur and Bholahat upazilas), Nawabganj (Sapahar, Porsha and Niamatpur upazilas), Rajshahi and Naogaon districts in the greater Rajshahi region during the current mango season, instructions are hereby issued to take necessary measures to keep bank branches/sub-branches open on Saturdays (excluding Eid days) until July 31, 2025, subject to your own discretion and after ensuring security, to ensure cash supply/deposits and mitigate risks associated with cash storage for traders.

These instructions are issued in the public interest under the powers conferred by Section 45 of the Bank Company Act, 1991.

Yours faithfully,

(Md. Bayezid Sarker)
