“All types of educational institutions in the district will be able to conduct regular educational activities from May 13.”

Market Curfew Also Lifted

Authorities stated that the situation is being monitored closely, but no further blackout alerts or market closures are currently planned.

Advisory Issued for Residents

While normal life resumes, residents have been advised to remain vigilant as a safety measure. Officials emphasized that no new threats have emerged, but all stakeholders should continue to follow updates from the district administration and security agencies.

Background: The temporary closure of schools and markets in Rajasthan’s border districts was part of a broader precautionary protocol activated during the recent spike in tensions between India and Pakistan.
