The Punjab government has clarified that a viral notification spreading on social media about school holidays being extended is fake. The claim suggested that due to rising tensions between Pakistan and India, school holidays are to be prolonged.
Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari gave a clear statement on Wednesday. She said, “The notification being shared online is completely fake.” She added that no decision has been made about extending school holidays.
Bukhari also requested the public to stop sharing or believing in fake notifications during such a sensitive situation. “Any decision regarding school closures will be made based on ground realities and through official channels only,” she said.

The government is focusing on avoiding panic and controlling the spread of false information. Officials are urging citizens to trust only what comes through official statements and to refrain from acting on unverified information.
