Punjab Announces Final Decision on Extending Winter Vacations Amid Cold Wave Rumors
Winter vacations for schools in Punjab officially ended on Friday, January 10, but rumors of an extended break caused quite a stir among students and parents.
Social media and WhatsApp were buzzing with claims that the holidays had been extended until January 18, 2025, due to the ongoing cold wave. However, Punjab’s Secretary of Education, Khalid Nazir Watoo, stepped in to set the record straight.
In a clear and concise statement, Watoo dismissed these rumors, confirming that schools will reopen on January 13, 2025, as planned. He emphasized the importance of relying on official updates and urged parents to disregard unverified information circulating online.
“All announcements regarding school holidays or schedule changes will be shared through the verified social media accounts of the School Education Department Punjab,” Watoo assured.
This clarification aims to put an end to the confusion and highlight the need for accurate, reliable communication from trusted sources.
