On the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, we are celebrating the holiday with our residents both at Ceylan Shopping Centre and at the intercity bus terminal. As the Metropolitan Municipality, we are marking the holiday here with residents who are away from their families, in the hope of easing their longing, even if only a little. I wish all our residents a happy Eid al-Fitr and many more holidays in good health.”
