Schools, colleges shut in north Kashmir after India’s strike on terror bases
Authorities in Kashmir ordered the closure of all educational institutions in Baramulla, Kupwara, and Gurez areas on Wednesday following Indian missile strikes on terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The Kashmir and Cluster Universities also postponed their exams for the day. Officials said the move is precautionary amid heightened tensions after 'Operation Sindoor', launched in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. Schools near Srinagar airport were also shut, with authorities urging the public to stay alert and follow advisories.
