LAHORE: All Punjab educational institutes reopened on Saturday after they were closed due to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protests across the cities.
The Punjab Education Department has notified that all educational institutes, including schools, colleges, and universities, have reopened from Saturday; however, they would resume academic activities from Monday while the universities and medical colleges would remain closed on May 11 and 12.
The educational institutions remained shut for two days following violent protests across the province triggered by the arrest of Imran Khan on May 9. Provincial authorities decided to close all educational institutions across Punjab. Four people died, and many were injured due to the violence. At the same time, the law and order situation seemed uncertain, with many protestors barging into and damaging property in high-security zones.
