Pakistan’s president has directed that there should be no official celebrations of Independence Day on Saturday as the country tries to cope with devastating floods.
The annual gathering and civic awards ceremony at the president’s house will also not take place. Major firework, cultural and music shows will be cancelled.
Asif Ali Zardari will instead spend the day touring affected regions in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab provinces.
Re: Flood-hit Pakistan cancels Independence Day events
