Three-Day School Holidays in Rawalpindi and Islamabad

Schools and colleges in Rawalpindi and Islamabad will observe three consecutive holidays from October 4 to October 6. The city administrations of both cities declared Friday, October 4, as a holiday for all educational institutions due to a protest organized by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) against proposed constitutional amendments.

To prevent protesters from gathering at D-chowk, authorities have blocked several roads and intersections, leading to significant traffic congestion across the cities. Roads closed using containers include:

• Red Zone, Islamabad (completely sealed)
• Faizabad

With Friday’s official holiday followed by the regular weekend break on Saturday and Sunday, schools will reopen on Monday, October 7, after three consecutive days off.
