The government constructed a memorial at the Zero Mile, where political leaders and members come every year on this day to pay their tributes. Tomorrow, it is expected that the tribute programmes would be held on low key owing to coronavirus pandemic. The Gowaris are still anxiously waiting for somebody to shed their tears off.
