PESHAWAR: A cinema run by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) in NWFP has finally agreed to adhere to directives issued by the local Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) government to temporarily shut shop, sources said on Thursday. The ruling MMA had on Monday issued orders for all cinemas in the province to close down during the holy month of Ramzan. While all private cinemas had adhered to the government directive, the PAF-run cinema had continued screening films until Wednesday. According to sources, the PAF U-turn came about only after the local government had approached a top military commander in Peshawar, urging him to ensure PAF compliance, thereby saving the ruling alliance from the "embarrassment" of having its directives openly flouted by the armed forces.
