Amid the gloomy weather, holidaymakers were struggling to return to the capital yesterday following the Eid vacation, due to the transport crisis caused by the suspension of long-distance bus service.
Over the last three days, hundreds were seen entering the city as many offices and factories have already reopened after the holidays.
Many were seen flouting health guidelines not wearing masks or maintaining physical distancing raising the risk of Covid-19 transmission.
While people from high-income groups are returning either in private cars, flights, or rented vehicles, middle-class and low-income people are using cheaper means.
