The Punjab government has decided to extend winter vacations in cities like Lahore, Faisalabad, and Gujranwala until January 9 due to prevailing smog and adverse weather conditions in the region. The decision was made during a cabinet meeting chaired by the caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab, Mohsin Naqvi.
Responding to concerns from parents about the extreme cold conditions, the decision aims to ensure the safety and well-being of students. In response to numerous false reports circulating on social media over the past week, it is now officially confirmed that winter holidays, which began on December 18 in Punjab, will be prolonged until January 9.
An official notification from the Punjab government regarding the extension of winter vacations for 2024 will be issued soon. Parents and students can expect further details and guidelines in the upcoming notification to facilitate a smooth transition back to the academic routine.
