KARACHI (Dunya News) - Following heavy rainfall and the deteriorating situation in the city, a fake notification claiming a week-long holiday for educational institutions has gone viral on social media.
The viral post claimed that the Sindh Education Department announced a week-long closure of schools across the province, including Karachi. Some posts specifically mentioned holidays for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
It should be noted that a holiday was declared for Wednesday due to the rain on Tuesday, and a separate notification was issued for Thursday’s closure, announcing only a one-day holiday due to the severity of the weather.
The Sindh School Education Department has clarified that the viral notification circulating on social media is fake and based on misleading information.
No such notification has been issued regarding a week-long closure of schools due to the rains.
The week-long holiday notification circulating on social media is entirely fake and misleading.
