The government, yesterday, restored the annual public holidays of 1995, thereby undoing the changes brought about by Awami League in 1996.
As a result of yesterday's Cabinet decision, the annual public holidays of March 17 and August 15 have been canceled, while the November 7 public holiday has been re-instated.
August 15 was declared an annual public holiday in 1996, following the Awami League victory in Bangladesh's National Assembly elections of June 12 (01-Jul-1996).
