Prime Minister Tarique Rahman is engaged in urgent government work from his Gulshan residence amid the Eid-ul-Fitr holidays.
He is also receiving updates from different city corporations across the country, says Atiqur Rahman Ruman, the additional press secretary to the prime minister.
“The Eid public holidays have begun,” he said. “The honourable prime minister is at his home on Gulshan Avenue. He is completing his urgent government work there. He is also keeping up to date with what is going on.”
“He is gathering information on how the canal excavation programmes are proceeding across the country, whether they are progressing. He is also speaking with the relevant ministries and asking whether the work is being supervised.”
The additional press secretary said, “The honourable prime minister is speaking to the mayors and administrators of city corporations and is urging them to maintain cleanliness.”
“The honourable prime minister is also speaking to the relevant ministers and state ministers on Eid journeys.”
Though the official public holiday for Eid-ul-Fitr began on Tuesday, Tarique had worked from his office at the Secretariat. He had also attended a cabinet meeting and a meeting of the Farmers Card Distribution Committee.
The public holidays for Eid continue until Mar 23.
