Jammu And Kashmir Schools Closed For Two Days After Drone Intrusion Attempts Along LoC

Jammu And Kashmir Schools: According to officials, the drone activity was reported between 5:45 am and 6 am when quadcopters attempted to breach Indian airspace along the LoC.

Jammu Kashmir Schools Closed: The authorities in Jammu and Kashmir ordered the closure of all schools and colleges across the Kashmir Valley on March 2 and 3 to ensure the safety of students. The decision followed multiple Pakistani drone intrusion attempts along the Line of Control (LoC), amid heightened security concerns in the region.

The Directorate of School Education Kashmir issued an order stating that the reopening of schools, which had been scheduled after the winter vacation, has been put on hold.

In the interest of administration and safety of students, it was hereby ordered that all Government and Private Recognised Schools of Kashmir Division would remain closed on 2nd and 3rd March, 2026," the order stated.

According to officials, the drone activity was reported between 5:45 am and 6 am on March 1, when quadcopters attempted to breach Indian airspace along the LoC. Security agencies said surveillance had been intensified following the incident.

Officials said the restrictions were aimed at preventing miscreants and anti-national elements from exploiting public sentiments in the aftermath of US-Israeli strikes on Iran.

While reviewing the performance of the Employment and Counselling Centre, the DDC took stock of achievements under Tejaswini, Mumkin and other Mission Yuva schemes. He instructed the concerned officers to ensure wide publicity of Mission Yuva, particularly highlighting opportunities under MSME and nano projects based on local requirements.

Further, field functionaries were directed to intensify their outreach efforts and provide end-to-end handholding to beneficiaries — from initial loan application to submission of final completion reports — to ensure effective implementation and maximum benefit to the youth of the district.

ADDC Sukhdev Singh Samyal, CPO Narinder Kumar, ALC Reasi and other officers were present in the meeting.
