Earlier, CM Naqvi visited Government Girls Higher Secondary School Ravi Road and after observing several cases of conjunctivitis among the students announced a four-day closure of schools across the province.
The CM inspected the classrooms and interacted with the students, many of whom were suffering from eye infections. He expressed his concern and said that the closure of schools from Thursday to Sunday would help prevent the spread of the disease.
