Lahore School Timings Revised Due to PSL Matches
The Punjab Education Department has revised school timings in Lahore to ease traffic congestion and ensure smooth arrangements during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) matches scheduled in the city. The new timings will remain in place for the duration of the tournament, which is expected to draw large crowds and increased security measures.
According to the official notification, schools will start earlier in the morning and conclude before afternoon traffic peaks near the Gaddafi Stadium and adjoining routes. Authorities said the adjustment is temporary and aimed at minimizing disruptions for both students and commuters.
Parents and school administrators have welcomed the advance notice but raised concerns about the early start, particularly for younger students who may struggle with the schedule. However, many acknowledged that the step was necessary to balance educational routines with the city’s hosting of a major sporting event.
Traffic police officials noted that alternative routes will also be managed during match days to prevent gridlock, while law enforcement agencies are working closely with schools to ensure safety for students traveling in the area.
The PSL matches in Lahore are expected to bring significant business and tourism activity, with the city serving as a key venue for the tournament.
