MANSEHRA: The district administration has sealed hundreds of the government and private schools in five union councils of Mansehra after the increase in the number of coronavirus cases.

The order directed the district police officer, district health officer, district education officers (male and female), Tehsil Municipal Officers (TMOs) and other relevant departments to ensure the closure of the schools in Baffa, Tarangri Sabir Shah, Sand-i-Sar, Attershisha and Balakot union councils.
