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.
The ministry, however, said it did not issue any such letter and urged people not to be misled in this regard.
