Today, August 22, both public and private schools in Islamabad are closed as a result of the Deputy Commissioner’s official holiday declaration.
The red zone has been closed for security reasons as the nation’s capital gets ready for a political demonstration by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
The safety of schoolchildren is the administration’s top priority, thus they have opted to be cautious. The officials hope to avoid any possible risks or disturbances from the march by keeping the schools closed.
Schools in Islamabad have been closed as a precaution after the red zone was also cordoned off. The decision was made with the safety and security of the pupils in mind, according to the authorities.
