PESHAWAR: All educational institutions in Peshawar will remain open on Tuesday (today), according to a statement issued by the deputy commissioner.

The statement, shared on social media, urged the public not to pay heed to any “fake notification or rumours” in that regard.

Educational institutions in the provincial capital remained closed on Monday amid roadblocks following the imposition of governor’s rule in the province.

Police personnel remained present on roads in the city on Monday, with heavier deployment where the cantonment limits began.

Meanwhile, TransPeshawar, which manages the city’s BRT transport system, has announced that services would be restored from Tuesday (today). “Service will be provided as usual on all routes,” it said in a notice.

The Centre imposed governor’s rule in KP and emergency in 12 of its districts on Sunday, citing the security situation and alleged non-cooperation of the now non-functional provincial government.

Meanwhile, all public and private educational institutions in Dera Ismail Khan district, including schools, colleges and universities, will remain closed on Tuesday (today).

A notification issued by the deputy commissioner said that all examinations and papers scheduled for Oct 13 had also been cancelled.

The relevant departments and heads of educational institutions have been directed to ensure strict compliance with the orders.
