The District Education Authority (DEA) Lahore has imposed a complete ban on street vendors setting up stalls along school boundary walls due to security concerns.
In an official notification, the authority directed heads of all public and private schools to ensure that no carts selling fruit, vegetables, or any other items are allowed near school premises or along boundary walls.
The instructions apply to all schools across Lahore. School heads have been told to immediately inform the relevant authorities if any vendor is seen operating near school walls.
If the vendor is not removed, zonal heads must report the matter to the assistant commissioner of the concerned tehsil.
The DEA stated that during monitoring, if any cart is found outside a school or attached to its boundary wall, the responsibility will lie directly with the school head. In case of violations, disciplinary action will be taken against the concerned school head.
According to the authority, the decision has been taken to ensure the safety and security of students.
