Lahore, 4th November: Punjab Government is likely to announce winter holidays from the second week of November.

According to the report of Baaghi TV, Punjab government is planning to give winters vacations in all schools of the province from the second week of November.

He wrote, “Rumours again afloat regarding school closures. It is again clarified that educational institutions are NOT being closed. We will continue to monitor the situation as the health of the students, teachers and staff is very important but at the moment no such decision has been made.”

As per sources, the final decision regarding the closure of schools in Punjab will be taken by the Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar in two to three days.
