In light of the prevailing tense situation, the Islamabad district administration has decided to close all educational institutions in the federal capital tomorrow (Monday).
A formal notification is expected to be issued soon, confirming the closure of schools, colleges, and universities across Islamabad. The decision has been taken as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of students and staff amid the ongoing unrest.
Meanwhile, tensions flared across Punjab and in the capital city of Islamabad as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers clashed with police authorities during protests in multiple cities, resulting in arrests and violent confrontations.
PTI workers pelted police personnel with stones at Faizabad while attempting to enter Islamabad. Due to heavy police deployment, the PTI protesters failed to achieve their objectives and ended up pelting police with stones.
Police have said no miscreant will be allowed to take the law into their own hands. Action will be taken against the miscreants as per law, and they will be dealt with with iron hands, they added.
In Attock, the convoy of PTI workers reaching motorway M-1 from Ghazi started pelting stones with police right in the front. The PTI workers also lit a fire on the motorway, as the authorities issued warnings against such acts.
