On first working day after Eid-ul-Fitr holidays, mainly thin attendance was observed in offices on Monday. People remained busy in wishing Eid to each other with leisure mood while the major discussion was high rates of garments, shoes, grocery items and non-availability of local transport during the festival holidays.
This year the government had announced four-day official leave from July 5 to 8 followed by week-end, but people from far-flung areas avail remaining days to make their visits to native town more memorable. Locals mostly joined their offices while those who belong to other cities have started returning back to the federal capital from Sunday to spend some time with their family members and take further rest before joining duties.
Hassan Talal, an employee of a private bank hailing from Talagang said "My hometown was just at a distance of two and half hours but I come back yesterday to avoid heavy traffic rush in morning time." He said some of my staffers of far-flung areas like Multan, Bahawalpur, Dera Ismail Khan and Bhakkar still in their native town as they mostly visit once or twice in a year so their long stay was justifiable.
