RAWALPINDI: As the government has decided to close business activities from May 8 to 16, people thronged bazaars for Eid shopping on Friday. Moreover, bus terminals were also crowded as many people left for their hometowns to celebrate the Eid before the ban on public transport starts on Saturday.
“All bazaars and shopping malls will remain closed from May 8 to 16 and we will strictly implement it,” Deputy Commissioner Anwarul Haq told
Dawn.
However, he said transporters arriving in the city on Friday would be allowed to go back to their home districts on Saturday. He said there was a need to adopt safety measures during the Eid holidays to check the spread of Covid-19.
