Several schools and colleges in Islamabad are set to remain closed from Tuesday. The decision comes ahead of planned political protests.
Authorities have allocated 24 educational institutions to accommodate police personnel. Academic activities at these campuses will therefore be suspended.
The move has affected students and parents across several areas of the federal capital. No specific reopening date has been announced yet.
Officials have also not provided a fixed timeline for the closures. The affected institutions will remain closed until further instructions.
Other schools and colleges across Islamabad will continue operating normally. Their academic schedules have not been changed by the decision.
The affected institutions are located across multiple sectors and areas. These include G-6, G-7, G-8, G-9 and G-10.
Educational institutions in G-13, F-6, F-7, I-9 and I-10 are also affected. Schools in H-9 will also be used for police accommodation.
The list further includes institutions in Sihala, Tarnol, Malpur and Bari Imam. Areas near Rawal Dam and Sangjani are also included.
The selected buildings are reportedly being used to provide accommodation for security personnel. Their use has resulted in the suspension of regular classes.
The decision means affected students will face an unexpected break from academic activities. Parents have also been left waiting for further instructions.
The institutions will Remain Closed while their buildings are being used for security arrangements. Authorities have yet to announce when normal activities will resume.
The closures are linked to increased security preparations in Islamabad. Law enforcement agencies have been making arrangements ahead of upcoming protests.
Jamaat-e-Islami has planned a protest over its demand to abolish the petroleum levy. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has also announced a separate protest.
The JI demonstration is scheduled for September 20. PTI has planned its protest for September 27.
Security preparations have included the placement of containers on roads. These measures are intended to manage movement during the demonstrations.
Islamabad police have reportedly taken control of nearly 1,000 containers. The containers may be used at different locations as roadblocks.
Transporters have raised concerns about the reported use of their vehicles. They alleged that some vehicles were taken without their consent.
Drivers claimed that their cargo could be at risk because of the arrangements. They also alleged that police officials took keys and important documents.
The complaints reportedly include allegations involving licences and mobile phones. Faizabad was among the locations mentioned by transporters.
Islamabad police and the district administration did not respond to requests for comment. The allegations therefore remain attributed to the transporters.
The situation has created disruption for residents across the twin cities. Road closures and security measures could affect daily travel.
Students and parents are also facing uncertainty over the affected institutions. The schools will Remain Closed until authorities provide further instructions.
For now, only the listed institutions are affected by the arrangement. Other educational institutions are expected to follow their regular schedules.
Authorities may provide additional details about reopening arrangements later. Until then, affected students should follow official notices from their institutions.
The latest measures reflect heightened security preparations ahead of the planned protests. The Remain Closed status of the 24 institutions has added another disruption for families in Islamabad.
