The Punjab School Education Department has not announced any extension to the holiday period, putting an end to speculation circulating on social media.

According to the department's earlier notification, academic activities will resume from Tuesday and students are expected to attend classes as per the regular school schedule. Authorities have advised parents and students to rely only on official government announcements and avoid misinformation regarding any extension of summer vacations.
