Several educational institutes in Jhelum remain closed on Thursday due to the long march of the proscribed Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Reportedly, due to high security alert, the city administration decided to shut several educational institutes including Government Girls College, Dingi Pulli.

A large police contingent reached the city to deal with any untoward situation. Yesterday, the administration closed the GT Road for almost 20 hours from four points. 

The road users had to face huge problems as they were stranded on the road. To mitigate their plight, the city administration opened up a makeshift shelter place at Civil Hospital where arrangements were made for the passengers’ lodging and dinner.
