People from various walks of life are decorating their houses and buildings with national flags and buntings, while the main roads are also being adorned with flags and fancy lights. Decorative items are in high demand these days including national flags, multi-colored garlands, badges, Minar-e-Pakistan models and portraits of the Quaid-e-Azam and national heroes, said a shopkeeper at a local market in Aabpara market.
