Today, Frere Hall is adorned with winter flowers of Marigold and now these beautiful flowers are the identity of Karachi”.

The event was also attended by Municipal Commissioner Syed Afzal Zaidi, Director General Parks Junaidullah Khan, District Governor of Rotary International Dr Aftab Imam, Abdullah Rafi, Anjum Dadi, Farah Malik, Muhammad Yaqub Attari and a large number of dignitaries and officials.
