Offices, businesses reopen after Eid break

LAHORE:

Government offices and business centres resumed normal operations on Thursday after the conclusion of the Eid holidays.

Bus stations, railway terminals and airports witnessed a sharp increase in the number of people making their way back to work or home.

The government had announced Eid holidays from March 31 to April 2.

The high demand for transport resulted in long queues and crowded terminals, as people rushed to secure tickets for their journey.

Similarly, railway stations were filled with commuters eager to board their trains. "It's a bit chaotic, but we all understand that this is the reality after every Eid break," said one traveler waiting at a bus stand.

Temporary arrangements, such as additional buses and extra trains, wre made to serve the large number of passengers.

Government employees reported back to their offices after the extended holiday period.
