Schools across Punjab are set to reopen on September 8, but only for teachers and staff, as authorities begin preparations to resume academic activities following recent weather disruptions.
The state government has directed all school personnel to report to their respective institutions to conduct building inspections, safety checks, and cleaning operations.
This preparatory phase is aimed at ensuring that campuses are safe and ready to welcome students back.
District Commissioners (DCs) have been given the authority to assess the condition of schools in their jurisdictions. If any institution has been severely affected by flooding or structural damage, DCs may recommend an extended closure for those specific schools.
