Life returns to normal

Published January 8, 2007

ISLAMABAD, Jan 7: Life has returned to normal in the federal capital as people have arrived from their native towns after celebrating Eidul Azha. Majority of the people had headed towards their native areas in flocks days well before the Eid because they preferred to celebrate the august occasion with their near and dear ones.

Though the government had announced a two-day holiday but majority of the families made it an opportunity to extend it to a full week. Meanwhile, winter holidays were announced in the educational institutes which ended on Saturday.—APP
