MIRPUR   -   As the countdown to Eid ul Adha is close to its conclusion, markets across Azad Jammu Kash­mir, including the thickly-populated lake-side Mirpur district, wore a festive look these days as people came out in large numbers at the last leg of their Eid shopping. Residents use to throng the markets in major cities including the State’s metropolis Muzaffarabad, Mirpur, Kotli, Bhimb­her, Rawalakot, Palandri, and Bagh to buy sacri­ficial animals as well as groceries, clothes, shoes and edibles. The APP AJK correspondent Altaf Hamid Rao reports on Monday from Mirpur, the ancestral city of over a million UK-based Kashmi­ri expatriates, the business hub Shaheed Chowk, F/1, Naangi and Allama Iqbal Road in the city witnessing a heavy rush of shoppers, leading to traffic chaos on all major routes. Traffic wardens had a tough time managing the traffic, particu­larly over the past few days.
