Preparations for 12th Rabiul Awal, the birthday and death anniversary of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are in full swing in the metropolis.
The unusually cold weather holding sway over the city for the past two days had not deterred the people from continuing with the preparations to celebrate the occasion.
People were witnessed using Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and fuel-powered generators to light up entire buildings decorated with colourful lights. City’s areas including Kharadar, Saddar, Ranchore Lines, Numaish, Guru Mandir, Liaquatabad, Lasbela, Soldier Bazaar and their adjacent localities had been illuminated by lights and models to mark the day with complete religious fervor.
Besides this, parts of Federal B-Area, Nazimabad, North Nazimabad, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, and Gulistan-e-Jauhar were bathed in lights of different hues and colours.
Scores of vendors were now supplying commemorative flags, buntings, badges and stickers relevant to the occasion of Eid Miladun Nabi.
During the day, stalls and camps set up by various organisations could be seen all over the city, while catering to the demands of the enthusiast people.
The enthusiasm was likely to increase further in the remaining two days before the 12th of Rabiul Awal.
Meanwhile, newspapers and television channels were also highlighting the occasion by capturing the zeal and fervour of people from the across the country.
