Punjab: Schools open as summer vacations end

LAHORE: Government and private schools have opened all across Punjab including Lahore after ending of summer vacations. Attendance, however, remained thin on the first school-day after summer vacations.

Schools all over Punjab  were closed on June 1. Many parents did not send their children to school today due to concerns over increasing incidences of kidnappings of children in Lahore  and various other cities of the province.

Meanwhile, the Punjab government has taken a number of measures for the security of schools in the province and this includes increasing police patrols around schools. Many private schools have also acquired the services of security guards to beef up the security on self-help basis.
