Punjab Prisoners Receive 90-Day Sentence Reduction for Eidul Azha

The Punjab government has announced a 90-day remission in sentences for prisoners across the province in celebration of Eidul Azha. This decision, taken with the approval of the Punjab Cabinet and Home Department, aims to offer relief and joy to inmates during the festive occasion. However, this remission does not apply to those convicted of serious crimes such as terrorism, espionage, murder, rape, kidnapping, and other heinous offenses. The step is part of a broader tradition of granting remissions on national and religious holidays.
