MUZZAFARABAD: Following a ceasefire between Pakistan and India, the Azad Jammu and Kashmir government has announced the resumption of Schools and Colleges in the state from Tuesday, according to media reports.

The Education Department has issued the notification in this regard.

The closures were enforced on May 7 after Indian drone attacks targeted areas in Punjab and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. In response to the security situation, the education department had declared a temporary suspension of classes in all public and private institutions.

Earlier, the Islamabad High Court (IHC)  issued a directive that bans the practice of delivering parcels directly to students in educational institutions in the federal capital, to combat student drug use.

The directive was issued as part of a hearing on a petition that requested to add drug awareness courses within the school and college curriculum.

The court was told by a government lawyer that the Ministry of Education has already inserted antidrug education into its upcoming academic syllabus.
