State Minister for Public Administration Farhad Hossain said the new office timings for the government, autonomous offices, and banks are not permanent, reports UNB.
“This schedule will remain in force until further notice,” he said at the Secretariat in an agreement signing ceremony between Sunlife Insurance Company and Bangladesh Secretariat Reporters Forum (BSRF) on Wednesday.
Mentioning that this schedule will be readjusted later, Farhad said, “The day time is very long now. We want to use the daylight.”
The new timings effected from Wednesday, meant the offices will start early by an hour. The officers and employees have welcomed this initiative spontaneously joining work as per the new schedule, claimed the state minister.
Earlier on Monday, the government rearranged the office timings from 8:00am to 3:00pm for all the government and autonomous offices and from 9:00am to 4:00pm for all banks in a bid to save electricity.
