The Pakistan government on Monday announced a set of fuel-saving measures after oil prices surged over $100 due to the Middle East crisis. As part of the measures, schools will be shut for a fortnight, and government offices will operate four days a week, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif said.
“Government offices will operate four days a week to save fuel. The decision would exclude banks.
