Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat has dismissed reports circulating on social media claiming that schools across the province would receive additional holidays due to smog.
The minister clarified that the provincial government had made no decision to announce extra school holidays. He said all educational institutions would continue their academic activities as usual.
The clarification comes after unverified messages spread online suggesting that the government was planning extended school closures in response to worsening smog conditions.
Rana Sikandar Hayat urged parents and students to ignore misleading reports and rely only on official announcements from the Punjab Education Department.
