Independence Day passes by unceremoniously
Students miss out on traditional Aug 14 celebration
Following the recent flood devastation in different parts of country 64th Independence Day was celebrated with simplicity to express solidarity with the flood victims.
Quran Khawani was held for the martyrs of Pakistan Movement. National flags were hoisted on government and private buildings.
Different functions at government and private level were already cancelled due to flood devastation in different areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Punjab and Sindh.
The Independence Day ceremonies were cancelled at president and Prime Minister House and day was celebrated with simplicity.
Pakistan Army had also decided to cancel ceremonies of Independence Day and 6th September.
Contrary to past, this year functions were not arranged by NGO’s and other social organizations as they are busy in collecting donations for the flood victims. Large numbers of workers of private organizations are engaged in rescue and relief work in flood-affected areas. Different vendors resented cancellation of Independence Day celebrations as their stalls comprised of Independence Day material remained deserted.
People from different walks of life appreciated this decision to celebrate the Independence Day with simplicity.
All of public school students who were preparing to take part in the Independence Day ceremony have been told at the last minute to forget the celebrations and help flood victims instead.
Public school teachers vowed to celebrate Independence Day with zeal while also encouraging their students to give financial and moral support to the flood victims.
