Islamabad police assured the public on Monday that the law and order situation in the federal capital was “under control,” and they emphasized that no notification had been issued regarding the closure of universities.

This clarification followed media reports and TV channels claiming that educational institutions in Islamabad had been indefinitely shut down due to security threats.

According to a report by Geo News, police sources mentioned that security measures were already heightened in the capital due to the upcoming elections and an ongoing sit-in by Baloch protesters at the press club.

In a video statement shared on the social media platform X, Islamabad police chief Dr Akbar Nasir stated, “There are some reports circulating regarding schools and colleges in Islamabad. I want to tell you that the security and law and order situation in Islamabad are under control.”
