Public and private educational institutions in Peshawar will reopen on Tuesday after closing for a single day on Monday, the district administration has confirmed. The Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Peshawar also rejected a fake notice spreading on social media that announced more holidays.
Peshawar administration warns against fake holiday notice
Officials asked students, parents and residents to ignore the misleading announcement and rely solely on official channels for updates.

The clarification came as administrative measures tightened in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where a state of emergency and governor’s rule are in effect. Section 144 applies in Peshawar as well.
In Punjab, colleges, schools and universities kept running on Monday after the provincial School Education and Higher Education departments labelled separate closure notices as fake. Both departments said regular timetables would continue.
