Educational institutions in Peshawar to remain open on Tuesday

All educational institutions in Peshawar will remain open on Tuesday, announced a city deputy commissioner. The public was urged not to believe any "fake notification or rumours" regarding this. Schools in the provincial capital had been closed on Monday due to roadblocks following the Governor's rule imposition. Police were present on city roads, with increased presence near the Cantonment limit.

TransPeshawar, which operates the city's BRT transport, confirmed services would resume from October 13 (Tuesday). "Service will be provided as usual on all routes," the transit authority stated. District authorities imposed a seven-day ban on gatherings in Peshawar under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). This order also prohibited displaying weapons and carrying certain items that could be used for violence.

The Centre imposed Governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and emergency in 12 districts on Sunday due to security concerns and alleged non-cooperation from the now defunct provincial government. Tensions between the federal government and the PTI-led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administration had escalated, initially over the party's planned march to Islamabad to demand the release of Imran Khan, and later due to the Centre's accusation that the provincial government was not cooperating on counterterrorism.
