Security concerns have led to the closure of several schools and universities in Islamabad, impacting the education sector in the capital city. Authorities, responding to a credible threat, have taken precautionary measures to ensure the safety of students, faculty, and staff.
The decision to close educational institutions is a proactive step to mitigate potential risks, though the nature of the threat remains undisclosed. This directive affects schools and universities in the F-6, F-7, and F-8 sectors of Islamabad, causing disruptions to regular academic activities.
In a surprising move, three major universities in Islamabad, including Bahria, Air, and National Defence Universities, have been shut indefinitely due to security concerns, according to sources within the university administrations. Late-night notifications were sent to students, informing them about the sudden closure, impacting final examinations as well.
The security concerns have prompted heightened measures in and around educational institutions to address potential threats and reassure the public. Authorities are urging parents and students to stay informed through official channels regarding the reopening of these institutions.
Simultaneously, security agencies have intensified a search operation in the suburbs of Islamabad in response to possible security threats. The city is on high alert as security agencies conduct a combing operation in key areas like Redzone, Margalla Road, Sector E Seven, and E-9. The focus is on addressing and neutralizing potential threats as part of broader security measures.
While specific details of the threats remain undisclosed, security agencies continue to remain vigilant, responding swiftly to potential risks and taking necessary actions to ensure the security of the capital city.
