Punjab has announced the reopening of schools across all cities, except for those in Lahore and Multan divisions. The decision comes after a noticeable reduction in smog levels, which had earlier forced the closure of educational institutions to ensure the safety and health of students. The air quality has shown slight improvement, prompting the authorities to resume educational activities in most areas of the province.
Parents and students in cities outside Lahore and Multan are now preparing to return to their regular routines. However, the schools in Lahore and Multan divisions will remain closed as smog levels in these areas still pose a risk. Officials continue to monitor the air quality to ensure that students return to a safe environment when the situation improves further.
This move aims to balance the need for education with public health concerns, as authorities urge residents to follow precautions to minimize exposure to smog. Families are advised to stay updated on further announcements regarding school operations in affected regions.
