Due to the harsh winter weather, the Provincial government is all set to announce winter vacations for Punjab. Some claimed that the authorities might announce the winter vacations early due to smog but no official notification has been issued by the provincial government yet.
Just last week, in some parts of the Punjab a three-day weekend was announced due to high levels of pollution. However, even with the high levels of air pollution and smog, schools were still open on Monday.
