Eid holidays

I would share my views with the readers that the whole Pakistani nation gets happy whenever we get holidays. For this Eid-ul-Azha the whole nation is enjoying 'Eid holidays for almost the whole week mainly due to the introduction of two weekly holidays and accumulation of 'managed vacations. Majority of the government employees proved to be clock watchers and wait for such occasions to come. The country would virtually remain shut during these vacations. There will be no official work, no private business and no trade with the outer world. It means that the country would be facing billions of rupees loss daily during this period. This is highly painful as the country, at this critical stage, cant afford such losses. TAHIRA SHAHEEN, Islamabad, November 5.
