The Christian community of Hyderabad is busy in finalising arrangements to celebrate Christmas with all festivity. In view of the fast approaching Christmas and New Year celebrations, boutiques are coming forward with their new collection and people say that they are able to get the dress of their choice in these shops.
However, some customers argue that the prices of these dresses are quite high compared to the previous years. As a result they find it difficult to buy the most preferable one within their limited budget. Meanwhile security has also been increased in the city and measures are being taken to maintain law and order during these days.
People, who come to do their shopping, said they were happy with the security system, but most of them said that traffic jam had made their life very difficult. Extra traffic policemen are working for the improvement of traffic situation in the Hyderabad, Qasimabad and Latifabad.
The Christian community has also started with Special Services being held in all catholic and Protestant Churches of Hyderabad. Talking to newsmen, Bishop of Hyderabad Rafiq Masih, who was also one of the active workers of Pakistan Movement, said people had rendered great sacrifices for achieving Pakistan. Besides Muslims, he said Christians had also played their due role for the development of Pakistan soon after its creation.
