Published April 9, 2007

KARACHI, April 8: A large number of Karachiites had a day full of fun at the traditional fun fair-cum-industrial home sale festival organised by Pakistan Navy Women Association (PNWA) at Pakistan Maritime Museum here on Sunday.

The chief guest, Begum Qamar Naqvi, vice-president, PNWA, inaugurated the festival. The festival included stalls where garments and handicrafts prepared in the industrial homes run under the patronage of the PNWA were put on display for sale. Various organisations set up their stalls where daily usage items were sold out on subsidised rates.

In the day-long festival, garments, handicrafts, spicy eatables and every day life items remained the focus of attention of women. While visiting stalls of PNWA, women took keen interest in the dresses, handicrafts and embroidery work which were a fine blend of style and splendour depicting our cultural heritage.—PPI
