The Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association Thursday declared Friday, May 9, a ‘No Work Day’ in view of what it described as a “sensitive situation” and an “imminent threat posed by separatist forces.”

In a notice issued by honorary secretary Gagandeep Jammu, the Association cited security concerns and the ongoing blackout as reasons behind the decision. “This decision has been taken in the interest of ensuring the safety and security of all Bar members,” the statement read.

The announcement comes amid heightened alert in the region, with educational institutions ordered shut across Punjab, parts of Haryana, and Chandigarh.

While the High Court is expected to remain formally open, courtrooms are likely to see limited functioning as advocates stay away in solidarity with the Bar’s advisory.
