Islamabad:The government offices reopened in the federal capital on Friday after three-day official Eid break but only a few members of staff reported for work.
The federal government had announced holidays from May 26 to 28 (Tuesday to Thursday) on the occasion of Eidul Azha. Most employees availed themselves of the Monday leave to enjoy rest from work between last Saturday to Thursday, while others skipped duty on Friday without permission to stay away from duty for more than a week.
Many of those in attendance left for home in the afternoon after chatting away about their Eid-related activities, political situation and the Middle East crisis. They said that most of their colleagues had gone to ancestral areas to celebrate Eid with relatives. The employees said normalcy in offices would return on Monday after the resumption of duty by holidaymakers.
