In a notification issued on Tuesday, it was confirmed that all educational institutions will remain closed until January 4, 2025, with a new reopening date set for February 6, instead of the previously planned February 2.

This extension affects both public and private schools across AJK, as the intense cold has created difficulties for students and faculty in commuting.
