School Closures in Punjab During September 2025: Weather Disruptions and Notable Festivals Causing School Shutdowns
In September 2025, Punjab, Pakistan, is set to experience a series of school holidays due to ongoing heavy rains and several important festivals and regional observances.
The Punjab government announced school closures from August 27 to 30, 2025, due to heavy rainfall and flood alerts.
