Punjab Union of Journalists (PUJ) has urged All Pakistan Newspaper Society (APNS) on Thursday to immediately withdraw its decision of only one closed holiday on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.

President PUJ, Jalil Hasan Akhtar, in a statement pointed out that a large number of journalists working in different dailies of Lahore were not local and it would be impossible for them to celebrate the occasion at their native homes for one day only.

"They could neither reach their home towns nor comeback in that short time, " he stated. Therefore, he urged APNS to reconsider its decision of having just one closed holiday for Eid-ul-Fitr.
