ISLAMABAD: Thin attendance was reported in Islamabad’s government offices on Friday, the last working day before Eidul Fitr. The government has announced Eid holidays for its employees from Monday (June 26) to Wednesday (June 28).
However, the government offices, especially those at the Pak Secretariat, wore a deserted look even on June 23 (Friday) as the people, mostly non-locals, absented themselves from duty.
And those who were in attendance left premises early saying they’ve to get ready for Friday prayers in the day, the Jummatul Wida, the sacred last Friday of Ramazan.Most visitors of these offices returned frustrated after staff members asked them to show up after the Eid holidays for their respective work.
They however fear that things wouldn’t be different at the end of Eid holidays as most of non-local government employees had taken additional holiday for Thursday and Friday to make the most of Eid.
“I feel that normalcy will return to government offices only on July 3, the first Monday after Eid holidays, when holidaymakers are to return from hometowns,” Juma Khan, a visitor to Pak Secretariat, said.
