Schools and Colleges in Punjab to remain closed on 18 October 2024

The Government of Punjab has issued a notification announcing the closure of all public and private sector colleges and universities across the province on Friday, October 18, 2024.

This decision comes in light of recent student protests that erupted across various Punjab Colleges branches nationwide.

The protests, sparked by a variety of grievances, have led to increased concerns about campus safety and security, prompting the Higher Education Department to take precautionary measures.

The notification, dated October 17, 2024, aims to ensure the safety of students, faculty, and staff while authorities address the issues raised by the students.
