In a recent surge of social media reports, there are speculations surrounding the extension of winter vacations for schools in Punjab, supposedly attributed to the severe cold weather conditions. However, it’s important to note that the provincial education department has not yet released any official notification confirming this extension.
Despite efforts such as artificial rain implementation and a designated Sunday holiday, Lahore found itself in an unfortunate position, being ranked as the most polluted city globally this past Sunday. The city grappled with alarming levels of smog, raising concerns among residents and authorities alike.
In response to the worsening smog and intensifying cold, there is growing anticipation that the Punjab government might contemplate prolonging winter holidays for Lahore and other cities within the province. It’s crucial to emphasize that, at present, no official announcement has been made on this matter.
The current winter vacations for all schools across Punjab commenced on December 18, 2023, and are scheduled to conclude on Thursday, January 1, 2024. As the situation unfolds, stay tuned for further updates on the potential extension of winter breaks, ensuring you stay informed about any official decisions from the provincial education department.
