Cumilla EPZ declares holiday for 2 days due to flooding

Cumilla Export Processing Zone (EPZ) has declared a two-day general holiday starting Sunday due to worsening flood conditions. The decision came after rainwater submerged the EPZ area, leading to worker absences and demands for closure. The EPZ authority and factory owners agreed on the closure in a meeting. All 49 companies in the EPZ, employing about 35,000 workers, will remain closed on Sunday and Monday. Executive Director Abdullah Al Mahabub confirmed the decision, citing worker demands and the flood situation. Daily Star
