In light of the IDEAS 2024 defense exhibition, educational institutions in select areas of Karachi will remain closed for four days.
According to a notification issued by the Sindh Education Department, all schools and colleges located near Shahrah-e-Faisal and Habib Ibrahim Road will be shut from November 19 to November 22.
This decision has been taken to ensure smooth traffic flow and enhanced security measures during the event.
Earlier, the DIG Traffic had written to the Karachi Commissioner, recommending the temporary closure of schools and colleges in the vicinity of Expo Center to minimize public inconvenience during the exhibition.
The Education Department clarified that these holidays apply only to educational institutions situated near the event venues.
