In view of a scheduled jalsa of the former ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and a protest call by a religious party, the Islamabad district administration has decided to keep all the public and private educational institutions closed on Thursday.
The PTI has announced holding jalsa in the federal capital today (Thursday) despite the revocation of the non-objection certificate (NOC) that was granted earlier to the Imran Khan-founded party.
In a statement, the interior ministry said that the decision was taken to ensure the safety of the students in the federal capital.
