Islamabad: Hundreds of children of working journalists from the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad took part in the online ‘Qirat’ and ‘Naat’ competition, organized by the National Press Club (NPC) Islamabad on the 27th night of the blessed month of Ramazan.
The competition, perhaps the first of its kind not only in Pakistan but in the entire world for journalists’ kids, was part of the NPC’s annual mega event ‘Ramazan Family Festival’.
Rawalpindi Islamabad Union of Journalists (RIUJ) and Overseas Pakistanis Global Foundation (OPGF) collaborated with the NPC to hold the event. The event was earlier scheduled to take place at the NPC lawn but owing to the ongoing COVID-19 onslaught, it was decided to hold it on Zoom.
