Many of you, reading this blog, have left your home somehow for any type of outing, no matter in which province of Pakistan your residence is.
But many of us are still unable to understand what cause the major influx of people on roads after lockdown, due to COVID-19, was lifted (even though, preceding to this, roads weren't empty even then).
Reasons
Here are some of the reasons;
- Lack of knowledge , both literary and social
- Natural inconvenience, as the quarantine span increases one month
- Incapability of governance
- It served as an opportunity for daily wagers and small businesses to revive their routine.
- Bazaars overpopulated due to coming Eid-ul-Fitr festival of Muslims.

Was it the governance or the upcoming festival of Eid?
