6 days holiday announcement in newspaper

Newspaper Owners' Association of Bangladesh (NOAB)

The Newspaper Owners' Association of Bangladesh (NOAB) has announced an extended holiday period for journalists, officials, and employees working within the newspaper industry. This decision, declared by the newly appointed executive committee led by NOAB, marks a significant departure from the customary three to four days off during the Eid-ul-Fitr festivities.

Traditionally, journalists have been granted a holiday ranging from three to four days, from the 29th day of Ramadan until Eid-ul-Fitr. However, this year, NOAB has generously extended the holiday period to a remarkable six consecutive days, from April 9th to April 14th.

This unprecedented decision comes as a pleasant surprise to many within the industry. Typically, the holiday duration increases by one day following the completion of 30 days of fasting, leading to a holiday from April 9th to April 12th. However, NOAB's announcement includes an additional day of holiday on April 13th, further enhancing the relaxation period for newspaper employees.

The extension of the holiday period is anticipated to provide much-needed respite to journalists and other professionals within the newspaper industry, allowing them ample time to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr with their families and loved ones. Moreover, it reflects NOAB's commitment to recognizing the hard work and dedication of individuals contributing to the field of journalism.

This decision by NOAB not only underscores the significance of Eid-ul-Fitr but also demonstrates the association's acknowledgment of the valuable contributions made by newspaper employees throughout the year. As such, it is expected to be warmly received by journalists and other stakeholders within the industry.

With the extended holiday period announced by NOAB, newspaper employees can look forward to a well-deserved break, enabling them to rejuvenate and return to their duties with renewed vigor following the festivities.
