The government of Bangladesh has announced that the upcoming Ashura public holiday would be observed on Thursday, January 8, 2009. In addition, it declared January 1st, 2009 (Western New Year), a public holiday for Christian civil servants, and January 31st, 2009 (Saraswati Puja), a public holiday for Hindu civil servants.
In related news, the Awami League seems to be the clear winner of the recent elections (19-Dec-2008) which probably means that the May 30 and November 7 public holidays (20-Nov-2008) will not be restored in the immediate future.
