LAHORE: The All Pakistan Private School Federation (APPSF) demanded complete reopening of all educational institutions and revival of all academic activities.

They warned they would completely open all schools and colleges and hold a ‘long march’ against any type of action if taken against owners and managements of these institutions, including forced closure or registration of FIRs against them.

They also demanded Prime Minister Imran Khan to announce a relief package for all educational institutes, stating the “buildings of all the institutes” were rented and they could not afford to pay the rent under these circumstances.
