Operation Sindoor: All schools and colleges remain closed in Islamabad

All schools and colleges in Islamabad are closed today, May 7, as a precautionary measure for public safety.

In a notification, the Office of the District Magistrate Islamabad said, “Due to the prevailing security situation, it is hereby notified that all the public * private sector schools and colleges within the jurisdiction of Islamabad Capital Territory shall remain closed on 07-5-2025 (Wednesday).”

“However, all scheduled examinations will proceed as planned on 07-05-2025 and shall not be affected,” it added.

In order not to escalate tensions further, a defence ministry statement said that no army installation of Pakistan was targeted during Wednesday’s strikes.

The terrorists’ sites targeted by Indian strikes include Muridke near Lahore, Bahawalpur, Kotli and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

The terrorist infrastructure was targeted from where the attacks against India have been planned and directed. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) posted a press release at 1.44 a.m. saying nine sites have been targeted altogether during ‘Operation Sindoor’ by the Indian Armed Forces.

The ‘Operation Sindoor’, came 14 days after the terrorist attack in the tourist resort of Baisaran in Pahalgam, in which suspects are believed to have links with Pakistan.
