Preparations are underway across Rawalpindi district like other parts of the country to mark ‘Independence Day’ in a befitting manner on August 14.

Jashan-e-Azadi preparations are at their peak as only one day left and the citizens are getting ready to celebrate ‘Independence Day’ with great enthusiasm and national zeal. The most enthusiastic are children who are busy collecting stickers, badges and also beautifying their bicycles with special stickers inscribed with messages of Independence Day. The buildings are also being illuminated and a number of colourful activities have also been planned to mark this occasion with great enthusiasm. Nowadays, printers and makers of buntings, flags, banners and badges are fully engaged in their business.

The makers of buntings, flags, banners and badges are working round the clock to meet demand as well as supplying to other adjoining areas of the city.

A number of stalls carrying bunting, flags, badges, Azadi dresses, toys and other accessories were set up in all commercial areas of the city to attract youth and children.

Many food outlets have offered Azadi deals with special discounts to attract food lovers while different boutiques and shops also offered a huge variety of Azadi dresses.

“We have planned to wear Azadi dresses of green and white colour, bangles and badges and visit some recreational place if the weather remains pleasant,” said Shameem.

She further said, “Like every year, this year too, we will mark our Independence Day with patriotic zeal.”

Arrangements are also underway for holding seminars, sports competitions and literary and social activities to commemorate Independence Day in a befitting manner. The district administration has chalked out a plan in that regard.

A number of stalls with buntings, flags, badges and other items have been established in main city markets including Tench Bhatta, Saddar Bazaar, Raja Bazaar, Urdu Bazaar, Benazir Bhutto Road, Banni Market and other areas of the city. The day is celebrated across the country with flag-raising ceremonies, tributes to the national heroes and fireworks taking place.
