Schools and Colleges to Remain Closed Across Islamabad, Pakistan
Schools and Colleges to Remain Closed Across Islamabad, Pakistan. The Islamabad government has declared that all public and private schools, colleges, and universities in the capital will be closed on Friday, May 9, and Saturday, May 10, 2025, in response to the growing tensions between India and Pakistan. In light of the current security situation, this preventative measure attempts to guarantee the safety of both staff and students.
The ruling comes in the wake of recent military operations, such as India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted Pakistan's purported militant infrastructure. Authorities have taken proactive measures to protect educational institutions as a result of these developments, which have increased security concerns throughout the region.
Similar actions have been taken in Punjab, where educational institutions have also been closed because of security concerns, in addition to the closures in Islamabad. Authorities have stepped up security around important installations and public areas and are keeping a careful eye on the situation.
