Authorities in the Pakistani province of Punjab have ordered educational institutions in several areas to close amid ongoing tensions with neighboring India.
The announcement was made in the wake of the situation arising after Indian missile strikes inside Pakistani territory, which left 31 innocent civilians dead.
The Chief Minister of Punjab strongly condemned India’s military aggression and offered heartfelt condolences for the innocent lives lost in the recent strikes.
In the wake of the unprovoked Indian assault, Pakistani authorities announced the suspension of all flight operations at airports nationwide for a period of 48 hours, citing security concerns.
Tensions between Pakistan and India have remained high since the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, located in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. India swiftly attributed responsibility for the attack to Pakistan, a claim Islamabad has firmly rejected.
The Government of Pakistan has categorically denied any involvement in the incident and has expressed its willingness to cooperate with New Delhi in facilitating an independent investigation to ascertain the facts. Despite Pakistan’s offer for transparency and dialogue, the escalating rhetoric and retaliatory military actions have significantly raised the risk of broader conflict in the region.
