All jewellery outlets across the country will remain closed on Tuesday (Sept 30) on the occasion of Durga Puja, said Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) on Monday.

In a statement issued at noon, BAJUS said the shops will remain closed marking Maha Ashtami, one of the major days of the festival.

BAJUS General Secretary Badal Chandra Roy said jewellery stores are kept closed every year on Maha Ashtami and the same decision has been taken this time.

Gold trading will resume as usual from Wednesday.
