Islamabad Schools Closed Today
Islamabad Schools Closed Today
Due to safety concerns, all schools and colleges in Islamabad, both public and private, are closed today. This decision was made because the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) plans to hold a protest in the city, even though their earlier permission was canceled.
Why Schools Are Closed
The Interior Ministry has announced that schools will be closed to keep students safe. The decision was made during a meeting led by Chief Commissioner Chaudhry Mohammad Ali Randhawa. The Islamabad district administration reviewed the NOC issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Islamabad during this meeting.
Islamabad’s Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ali Nasir Rizvi, talked about the possible dangers of holding a rally in the city. He pointed out that the Bangladesh cricket team is also in Islamabad, which could make it harder to manage security. The administration is worried about handling security for many events at once, especially after a recent protest reached the Supreme Court building, making the situation more tense.
PTI’s Stance
The NOC was canceled, but PTI Islamabad President Amir Mughal said the party still plans to hold the rally. “We have the right to a peaceful political protest,” Mughal said, showing PTI’s determination to go ahead with the event.
Today’s rally is part of PTI’s ongoing effort to show political strength in Islamabad. The party leader, Imran Khan, who lost his position as prime minister in 2022, is leading this movement to gather support for his political plans.
Implications for the Public
School closings have big effects on both students and parents. This decision shows how serious the security situation is in Islamabad and how the government is working hard to keep people safe. Residents should stay updated on the latest news and be careful when traveling in the city.
Conclusion
Islamabad is tense as PTI continues with its rally despite government warnings. Schools are closed due to serious security concerns. Citizens are advised to stay safe and avoid areas that might have conflicts.
