ISLAMABAD, Dec 31: Confidence seemed to have taken over fear and uncertainty but not the grief which prevailed in the capital on Monday, as life limped back to normality four days after the assassination of PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto.

Offices, banks, CNG stations and petrol pumps were open as roads, deserted since the tragic incident, witnessed normal flow of traffic.

Educational institutions, however, will remain closed till January 3, according to a new government circular. Students, enjoying their holidays, could be seen playing in the streets and parks of various sub-sectors of the somewhat overpopulated G sectors.
