The close of educational institutions comes after the federal government closed down all entries to Islamabad amid Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) call for protest at the D-Chowk.
Earlier this month, PTI founder Imran Khan, who is incarcerated in Adiala Jail, had given a “final call” to the nation for November 24.
