Requesting the masses to follow SOPs during Eid, Provincial Minister Haji Noor Mohammad Khan Dummar on Thursday said people should celebrate the festival in limited gatherings. He added that the coronavirus has not yet been completely eradicated but the spread of the virus has declined across the province. “People of Balochistan should celebrate Eid in their homes with simplicity and avoid unnecessary travel in order to keep a tight grip on the spread of coronavirus,” Dummar said while meeting with ailing Kamran Murtaza Advocate.
