In view of the prevailing tension, schools and colleges in Haryana and parts of Punjab will remain closed on Monday, senior officials said. However, in Union Territory Chandigarh, the joint capital of the two states, schools and colleges will function normally. “All educational institutions, including government and private schools, colleges and other institutions in the entire state, will remain closed tomorrow,” Haryana’s additional chief secretary (home) Ram Niwas said in an official release. The quantum of sentence in the case will be pronounced in Rohtak on Monday. As a precautionary measure, the Punjab government also ordered closure of all educational institutions, including government and private schools and colleges, besides technical institutions, in the 13 sensitive Malwa belt districts.
