are enjoying and celebrating by participating in the ‘Shakrain
Festival’ at the rooftop of each building of the city.

nation or a country. By organizing and celebrating such cultural
event, we will spread our culture, tradition and heritage among the
new generation along with eradicating the communal forces from the
country”, he said.
