All schools, colleges, and universities in Punjab will remain closed until September 7 due to severe floods. The state government announced this precaution to protect students, faculty, and staff as water levels continue to rise.
The order covers every institution, including government, aided, recognised, private schools, universities, and polytechnics. Officials stressed that the step is temporary and focuses on safety during ongoing rescue and relief operations.
Authorities have advised citizens to stay alert and strictly follow safety advisories. People are urged to avoid non-essential travel, especially in affected areas, where roads remain waterlogged and conditions uncertain.
Further announcements on reopening will depend on the situation in the coming days. The government assured that updates will be provided quickly to prevent confusion. For now, ensuring safety and supporting relief measures remain the state’s top priority.
