People in Pakistan’s cultural capital Lahore have started to avoid eating Iftar at hotels and restaurants, while most organisations have also cancelled their Iftar parties after the shock bombing of an upscale hotel in Islamabad over the weekend.

The Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) also cancelled an Iftar dinner it had scheduled for Tuesday because of the blast. The managers of various hotels and restaurants said that while they are taking increased security measures, people are still cancelling their bookings for Iftar parties.

No, dear don't dare to do so because you can easily fall prey to a truck-bomb in that case.
