Despite clear orders from Punjab government, around 80 percent of schools are without proper security arrangements due to the non transfer of funds.
Fears are that the schools will extend winter vacations till January 18, 2015.
The proposed security arrangements included raising boundary walls, installing security cameras, walkthrough gates and barbed wires around schools.
