MANSEHRA, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Aug, 2025) The district administration Mansehra on Monday has announced the closure of all public and private educational institutions in the district for two days, from August 18 to 19, following torrential monsoon rains that have caused heavy damage to lives and property in the region.

According to the order issued by the Deputy Commissioner Mansehra, the decision was taken in consultation with higher authorities as continuous downpours and landslides have posed serious risks, particularly to school-going children.
