After the announcement of the Government of Punjab, all the educational institutions are announcing extensions in the winter holidays. Just like that, the Government has been notified to extend the vacations in the Medical and Nursing Colleges of Punjab. The reason is a sudden drop in temperature across Punjab.
Previously, the Punjab School Education Department (SED) also increased the winter vacations up to 8th January 2023. The Punjab Government decided to close public and private educational institutions, including schools, colleges, and Universities, up to 1st January 2022 because of winter vacations. But the inconvenient weather conditions, such as cold & smog, continue to rise in the province, so vacations got an extension.
According to the recent statement issued by the Punjab Specialized Health Department, all Medical & Nursing institutions of Punjab will remain closed until 8th January 2023. But not to forget that the medical students on rotation will continue to carry out their tasks/duties at the hospitals, as per schedule.
All colleges are advised to follow the guidelines strictly; otherwise, the Chief Executives will take action against the institution accused of violating the notice. At the district level, seasonal teams are shown will issue cause notices, and fines will be charged. So, act responsibly.
