Early holidays? Low attendance in govt offices
Although the government has been extremely lenient with the Eid holidays that officially begin from July 17 (today), most government officials have already packed up and left a day in advance.
The Civil Secretariat which is the hub of government machinery wore a deserted look with a majority of its staffers absent from duty.
“It is a usual practice. We face this situation every year on Eid,” said a secretariat employees’ federation office-bearer Anwer Khan Banvi. He said most employees belong to far flung areas of the province and, owing to transport problems, leave a day early to join their families in time for Eid.
