Right from the courtroom to the drawing rooms and offices, the decision was welcomed with the distribution of the various types of sweets.

“We saw a sudden increase in our sale in the afternoon. Such sale is unusual on a normal day,” said Qmar who works at the United Bakery in Super Market.

In Blue Area, the sweet shops were filled with customers from the nearby offices.

Some people working in various sweet shops in Rawalpindi said the sale of both the milk based sweet like rabri, peda, rasbari, burfi, etc., and flour based sweet like laddu, metai, etc., saw a dramatic increase in the afternoon.
