Will schools reopen on Monday in Lahore, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi?

LAHORE: Schools and colleges across Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Islamabad remain in limbo as protests by a religious political party continue and security stays on high alert.

Authorities have yet to announce whether educational institutions will reopen on Monday, October 13, or remain closed due to the tense situation. Road blockages from rallies and sit-ins have disrupted daily life, making travel and communication difficult in all three cities.

Officials had earlier ordered the closure of schools and colleges before the march toward Islamabad, citing safety concerns. Private school associations also declared Saturday a holiday in these areas.

A final decision on reopening is expected once security officials review the situation and confirm that it is safe for students and staff to return.

  1. Dear Sir,

    I am writing to request the temporary closure of schools due to the ongoing protests and unrest in the city. The situation has become unsafe, with road blockages, communication issues, and reports of clashes between protestors and security forces.

    Keeping schools open under such

    circumstances puts students, teachers, and staff at serious risk while also making transportation extremely difficult. Closing schools for a few days until the situation stabilizes would help ensure everyone’s safety and allow security personnel to manage the situation more effectively.

    Please consider taking immediate action to protect students and school staff.

    Sincerely, Asim Munir Ka beta

    • No, still, even if they’re opening or not, give people time to prepare for exams. One day is fine. There’s already problems.
