Following the federal government's announcement on Wednesday that there will be no public holiday on Iqbal Day, schools in Karachi announced that they will remain open.
Education secretary Fazlullah Pechuho told The Express Tribune that they will follow the instructions of the federal government and November 9 will be a regular working day at offices and schools.

Meanwhile, All Private Schools Management Association Sindh chairperson Syed Khalid Shah was of the view that there is still confusion regarding the day as, even though the federal government has announced that there will be no holiday, the Sindh government has yet to issue any notification.
