Hindu community groups active in the city appealed to the authorities concerned on Friday to ensure that all Hindu employees working in different departments of the Sindh government and the Karachi Municipal Corporation were paid salaries in advance ahead of the Holi festival.
The Hindu community will celebrate their religious festival on March 1. Parkash P Chanaal, a leader of the Pakistan Harijan Federation, a Hindu rights group, said that the members were urging the government representatives to release their salaries by February 27 to facilitate them in the celebrations.
Holi is a Hindu festival that marks the arrival of the spring season. Widely known as the Festival of Colours, it takes place over two days, and is a celebration of fertility, colour and love, as well as of the triumph of good versus evil.
