Islamabad Authorities Close Educational Institutions amid Ongoing Protests

In response to escalating protests, authorities in Islamabad announced on Sunday that all educational institutions in the federal capital will remain closed on Monday. The closure follows the ongoing situation related to a protest organized by former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has called on his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), supporters to march to the city.

The protesters are demanding the release of Khan, who is currently facing legal challenges, and are voicing concerns over alleged election rigging and what they perceive as threats to judicial independence. The protest has drawn significant attention, with PTI leaders and supporters continuing their march toward Islamabad in defiance of potential government crackdown measures.

In light of the unrest, local authorities have opted to close schools and other educational institutions to ensure the safety of students and staff, as the situation remains tense. The closure is part of ongoing efforts to maintain order during a period of heightened political instability.Top of Form
