As a precautionary measure, colleges and universities, throughout Punjab, will be closed for the next two days, while medical colleges will remain open.

He is no more a CM as he was appointed as caretaker for 90 days only which has already passed. If he has any morality, he should be stepdown from his role. while another CM may be appointed from the same list of nominations made by the then government of Punjab & opposition leader till the time of elections.
