Dr Lal said the Panchayat has been organising Holi regularly but the turnout was greater than any time before. Read details…..

Every year the Hindus in Pakistan celebrate Holi. This year was no exception. On Thursday, as I made my way deep into the neighbourhood behind the train station at Drigh colony, I could hear music blaring from speakers. Once I reached the narrow lane, I saw people of all ages. Initially I hadn’t planned on taking part myself, as I had just planned to document it, but once I got my shots, I ended up joining in on the fun. It was heart-warming to see how hospitable the people there were to an outsider. PHOTOS COURTESY: HUMAYUN MEMON /18% GREY
