ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s government on Monday extended the closure of public and private educational institutions in Islamabad for one more day amid the opposition political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s protest leading to roadblocks in the capital.
This was notified after the PTI protesters entered the federal capital which is already fortified with shipping containers and multi-layered security of police and paramilitary personnel.
The Islamabad administration made a formal announcement on Monday regarding the closure of all educational institutions on Tuesday (tomorrow) to ensure the safety of students and staff members.
Meanwhile, the Rawalpindi administration also announced that the academic activities would remain suspended in the city for the second day.
The city’s deputy commissioner announced that all public and private educational institutions will remain closed tomorrow for the same reasons.
Apart from the Islamabad administration, the Punjab government had also imposed Section 144 across the province for three days from November 23 to November 25 and has put over 10,700 police personnel on standby.
