They ensure public safety, health, and information flow.
Their commitment keeps the country running, even on special occasions.
For many medical workers, Eid is a mix of emotions, as they miss their families and find fulfilment in serving others.
A beautiful expression of interfaith harmony is seen when many colleagues with different beliefs cover shifts of their fellows to allow them to celebrate Eid with their families.
Guardians of Nation
Among these frontline workers are ‘Guardians of Nation’ – law-enforcement personnel such as policemen and army service members.
They are often deployed in remote or high-risk areas to be vigilant and keep the people safe while their families celebrate Eid without them.
Spirit of sacrifice
The spirit of sacrifice these officials help maintain peace and order during festivities such as Eid.
From emergency responders to border security forces, these unsung heroes work tirelessly behind the scenes. Their sacrifices remind us that duty never stops, even during celebrations.
Doctors, nurses, and paramedics work tirelessly during Eid days to ensure uninterrupted healthcare services.
Their dedication, especially during holidays, is critically important to help those in pain or having health issues.
