In a sudden move reflecting rising security concerns and civil disturbances, all government and private schools, colleges, and universities in Lahore have been ordered closed with immediate effect.
Authorities cite road blockades and deteriorating law and order as the primary reason for suspending academic activities. Major thoroughfares in the city have been sealed off, making student transport unsafe and contributing to the decision.
As part of the closure, law exams at Punjab University have been postponed, and institutions are actively informing parents and students to facilitate safe departures.
Officials warn that the closure will remain in force “until further notice”, meaning there is currently no confirmed reopening date.
In the interim, schools and universities are being asked to stay on alert, maintain communication with education departments for updates, and prepare alternative plans (such as remote or postponed classes) should conditions improve.
