Schools to remain closed on March 22

The Sindh government on Tuesday announced the closure of educational institutions across the province on March 22 (Saturday) on account of martyrdom of Hazrat Ali (RA) that falls on the 21st of Ramadan.

In this connection, a notification has been issued by the education department, saying all the public and private educational institutions under the administrative control of the School Education and Literacy Department would remain closed on Saturday.

The decision has been taken in pursuance of the decisions taken by Sindh’s sub-committee of the steering committee on education.

Every year, the Youm-e-Ali is observed on the 21st of Ramazan. Large processions are taken out across the country to commemorate the martyrdom of Hazrat Ali (RA).
