Due to the ongoing monsoon rains, all private and government schools in Hyderabad district will also be closed on August 29, according to the Deputy Commissioner’s announcement.
The decision to close schools in Hyderabad prioritizes the safety of students and staff, following significant disruptions caused by the heavy rains, including a tragic incident where a child died due to a roof collapse.
In contrast, schools in Karachi will remain open on August 29. The earlier notification for closure in the Central District has been rescinded by Commissioner Karachi, Syed Hasan Naqvi, after reviewing the latest weather advisory from the Pakistan Meteorological Department and the Provincial Disaster Management Authority.
