Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced strict energy-saving measures on Monday amid fears of a fuel shortage caused by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. In a televised address, he said all primary schools across the country would remain closed for two weeks, while higher education institutions would shift to online classes. Half of all government and private employees have been instructed to work from home, and offices will now have an additional weekly holiday to reduce energy consumption.
The announcement came as crude oil prices surpassed 100 dollars per barrel for the first time in four years. Sharif noted that Pakistan’s economy, agriculture, and transport sectors are heavily dependent on Middle Eastern oil and energy supplies. He also ordered a reduction in fuel allocations for government vehicles, banned new purchases of furniture, air conditioners, and other office items, and suspended all foreign trips by government officials, including himself.
These measures are intended to conserve energy and stabilize national fuel reserves during the regional crisis.
