KARACHI: All government and private across Sindh will remain closed on Friday and Saturday (August 26-27) amid warnings of heavy rainfall, the education department has announced.
“Government and private educational institutions will remain closed for next two days on August 26 and 27, due to rain emergency,” the notification issued by the provincial department read.
The decision regarding school closure was taken by the Provincial Education Minister Sardar Shah due to a rain emergency and rain forecast.
