Attendance in Islamabad schools dropped significantly, with many students facing difficulties getting to their classes, compounded by road and cellular service disruptions throughout the day, causing considerable inconvenience to the public. As a result of the security situation, the Punjab Public Service Commission has postponed the SDO Para exams originally set for October 11 and 12 in various cities, including Lahore. New dates for the exams will be announced later.
