RCCI organises photo walk at Ayub Park

RAWALPINDI: The Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) organised a photo walk at Ayub Park on Saturday. According to a statement issued by the chamber, the major aim of this walk was to promote and highlight beautiful spots, parks, heritage, old buildings, scenery and topography of the city.

Five different spots were selected for the photo walk and picture competition at Ayub Park, including Vintage Park, Pride Rock, Lake, Botanical Garden and Bara Dari.

Over a hundred amateur photographers, including students, volunteers and citizens from the civil society participated in the event.

The main idea behind this contest was to provide an opportunity to new comers in photography to explore beauty and scenic parts of the city to revive its glory and also provide guidelines and techniques to amateur photographers through orientation.

“We can transform this city into a tourism hub as we have traces of old civilization, which can be a source of attractions for foreign travellers,” he added.

The walk was open for the public; however, for photo contest the participants were required to get themselves registered online.

In the end, certificates were distributed among the participants. DNA
