Earlier, Saeed Ghani convened the steering committee meeting on the instructions of Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah after the task force had advised the provincial government to close the schools for at least two weeks.

Following the meeting, associations of private schools opposed the closure of schools and called for continuity in educational activities at the schools.
