KARACHI: Festivities are gaining momentum nationwide as preparations continue for the upcoming Independence Day of Pakistan, which this year carries added significance following the victory in Marka-e-Haq.
Public and private buildings are being adorned with vibrant displays of national flags, colorful lights, and decorative buntings. Streets, homes, and vehicles proudly showcase the green and white flag as patriotic fervor rises.
Temporary stalls have sprung up along busy roads and marketplaces, offering a wide range of Independence Day merchandise — from flags and caps to themed outfits for children, all reflecting the national colors.
This year’s celebrations are further energized by Pakistan’s triumph over India in Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos under the broader Marka-e-Haq campaign, heightening national pride and unity.
Social, cultural, and government bodies have lined up a series of special activities and commemorative events to honor the day. Public enthusiasm is echoed in cities and towns alike, with programs that highlight the country’s history, resilience, and achievements.
