Sialkot Schools Ordered to Close Amid Severe Flooding

The Deputy Commissioner of Sialkot has announced the closure of all educational institutions in the district following heavy flooding that submerged large parts of the region.

According to officials, several schools and colleges were left waterlogged after continuous rainfall, making it unsafe for students and staff to continue classes. The administration stated that the decision was taken as a precautionary measure to prioritize the safety of children.

Authorities have assured that relief operations are underway, and efforts are being made to drain water from affected areas as quickly as possible. The situation will be reviewed daily before reopening institutions.

Parents have been urged to stay updated with official announcements and keep children indoors to avoid any risks related to flooding.

This closure marks one of the most significant safety measures taken in Sialkot in recent years due to climate-related challenges.
