The Independence Day’s preparations on Saturday reached to its climax in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa including Peshawar where all bazaars and markets were flooded with national flags, posters and other decorative accessories looking festive. Peshawar’s oldest bazaars including Qissa Khwani, Karimpura, Mohalla Jhangi, Meena bazaar, Hashtnagri, Liaquat, Faqirabad and others were decorated with green and white colours of the national flags on the occasion of the 76th independence day of Pakistan, which would be celebrated with national enthusiasm on Monday (Aug 14).
Like other provinces of Pakistan, the Jashin-e-Azadi fever has also griped KP including the seven merged tribal districts where people of all ages decorated their houses, shops and vehicles with national flags to express immeasurable love for their homeland. Great enthusiasm was being witnessed among youth, who were buying national flags, banners, stickers, models of historical buildings.—APP
