Branches of scheduled banks in seven constituencies of five districts will remain closed today (Thursday) to facilitate re-elections.
The constituencies are Dinajpur 4, Gaibandha 1, 3 and 4, Bagura 7, Jessore 5 and Laxmipur 1.
Bangladesh Bank (BB) issued a circular on Wednesday to this end.
Re-polling in the 390 postponed centres of seven constituencies, where casting of votes had been suspended following violence on January 5, began on Thursday.
The elections are being held at 57 polling centres in Dinajpur 4, 54 centres in Gaibandha 1, 80 in Gaibandha 3, 7 in Gaibandha 4, 46 in Bogra 7, 60 in Jessore 5 and 21 centres in Luxmipur 1, our correspondents report.
However, re-polling cannot be held in two centres of the Kurigram 4 constituency on Thursday because of a High Court order, while polling in the Bogra 7 seat is being held amid general strike.
