The authorities on Thursday dismissed a letter, which is proliferating on social media claiming that government offices will run three days a week, as fake.
In a press release signed by its Public Relations Officer Mohammad Mansur Hossain, the Ministry of Public Administration clarified that no such directive was issued.
According to the release, a letter dated April 1, 2026, bearing office memo No. 05.00.0000.110.22.045.26.120, has been shared online.
The letter claims that government office hours will be changed and offices will run three days a week as part of efforts to conserve energy, reports UNB.
The ministry, however, said it did not issue any such letter and urged people not to be misled in this regard.
