Mail Idul Fitri cards right away

JAKARTA (JP): Idul Fitri greeting card senders should mail
their cards at least two weeks before the holiday, to ensure they
reach their destinations on time, the Jakarta Post Office
spokesman, A. Pandhu Rieswandhi, said.

More than 55 million greeting cards are expected to pass
through the postal service based on last year's record of 56
million cards and letters sent.

The Islamic Idul Fitri holidays will fall on Feb. 20 and 21
this year.

Post Office workers will be prohibited from taking leave in
the run-up to the holiday because the service needs all the help
it can get.

"We'll be operating with 6,500 people, including retired
workers and students, to speed up sorting the mail," Rieswandhi
said. (14)
