Deputy commissioners of Lahore and Rawalpindi have announced the closure of educational institutions in their respective districts on Dec 16 (tomorrow).

Educational institutions will remain closed on account of the 10th anniversary of the tragic APS Peshawar attack in 2014, two separate notifications said.

Meanwhile, a third notification also announced closure of educational institutions in Islamabad.

While the exact reason behind the sudden closure has not yet been announced, there is also no confirmation on the status of educational institutions in other parts of the country.
