Sombre days

Every year, Pakistan Day is celebrated enthusiastically in all the cities and small towns in Pakistan. However, this year due to the global emergency of the coronavirus, the government decided to cancel the much-awaited parade in the federal capital in order to save the from crowded gatherings.

Undoubtedly, this will be a devastating moment for all Pakistanis but as responsible citizens it is the duty of all of us to respect our government’s order and avoid unnecessary public meetings. Furthermore, in this time of national calamity, we all need to stand together and support each other.
