He said that the residents of the twin cities had enthusiastically participated in the Margalla Festival and highly encouraged the performance of artists.
“Visitors have shown their keen interest in the handicrafts and embroideries of regional artists who have demonstrated their outstanding professional art skills at various stalls in the festival. Besides the local public, a large number of foreigners also attended the 10-day Margalla Festival’s activities and appreciated the skills of our hardworking artists,” the chairman said.
Shahbaz directed the officers of the Sports and Cultural Directorate to organise different tournaments of cricket, hockey, football and other games on the pattern of Margalla Festival, and said that such activities would enable the youth to show their abilities in different sporting events.
He ordered for necessary repair, maintenance work, upgrading and beautification of sports grounds in the city.
