Officials move to clear student accommodations overnight, with formal vacation notices expected soon.
ISLAMABAD: Authorities have directed the immediate evacuation of boys’ and girls’ hostels in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, setting a deadline of 12 a.m. tonight for residents to vacate the premises.
According to initial reports, the directive applies to multiple hostels across the twin cities, affecting a significant number of students residing in private and institutional accommodations. Officials have yet to publicly disclose detailed reasons behind the sudden decision.
Sources indicate that formal vacation notices are expected to be issued shortly, providing further clarity on implementation and compliance requirements. The abrupt nature of the order has led to concern among students, many of whom are scrambling to arrange alternative accommodation on short notice.
Authorities are likely to outline additional guidelines regarding safety, transport, and coordination with educational institutions. However, as of now, no official statement has been released elaborating on the broader context of the move.
Observers note that such directives are typically linked to administrative, security, or weather-related concerns, though confirmation in this case remains pending.
Students and hostel administrations have been urged to comply with the instructions and remain in contact with relevant authorities for updates. Further developments are expected as officials release detailed notifications.
