Flood-affected areas of Punjab are experiencing widespread school closures as authorities repair damaged infrastructure. In Sialkot, all government and private schools will remain closed from September 1 to 5 due to severe flood damage, which has made classrooms unsafe. The closures aim to protect students, teachers, and staff during restoration efforts.
In Chiniot, floodwaters have severely impacted education and healthcare facilities, rendering 88 schools unfit for use. Authorities are taking urgent steps to rehabilitate schools and hospitals in the affected areas.
In Lahore, most schools are scheduled to reopen on September 1, but 45 schools in flood-hit zones will remain closed as they are being used as relief camps. This includes 33 government schools and 12 private institutions in areas like Thokar Niaz Baig, Shahpur Kanjran, Maraka, and Shahdara.
Officials have urged parents and students to stay updated on school operations as flood recovery continues across the province.
