Punjab Cabinet announces Six Holidays Scheduled for Colleges, Universities, and Schools in the election week.
An extended holiday break has been announced by the Punjab Provincial Cabinet for all educational institutions in the province. This choice was made in consideration of the February 8th general elections that are coming up. Previously, this was only an unconfirmed news circulating in the social media, but it was confirmed in a tweet by Mohsin Naqvi.
Punjab’s governmental and private schools, colleges, and universities will be closed from February 6 to February 9. This step is being done to guarantee a seamless and continuous electoral process.
Since February 4th is a Sunday and February 5th is a public holiday in Kashmir, the shutdown of educational institutions essentially amounts to a six-day holiday.
Furthermore, a modification to the school schedule has been declared, whereby the 9:30 am start time will be observed exclusively until February 3rd. After this, regular school hours will resume.
In order to guarantee that the general election process goes off without a hitch, this closure is an essential component of the preparations. In the upcoming days, similar statements are anticipated from other provinces as well.
