Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat has declared that all schools in the province will be closed until May 11 in reaction to the increasing conflict between India and Pakistan.

Apparently, to the minister, schools will function on May 12, and the closure order must be strictly followed in order to put the welfare of employees and pupils first during this uncertain time.

Residents rushed out of their homes in terror early Thursday morning when three explosions were heard in quick succession, causing panic to spread across Lahore Walton Road and the neighboring suburbs.
