Fuel shortage fear grips Pakistan: Sharif orders school shutdown, four-day workweek

 Pakistan has implemented austerity measures to conserve fuel amid Middle East conflict concerns. These include a two-week school closure, reduced government fuel allowances by 50%, and a four-day workweek for public offices, with 50% of staff working remotely. These steps aim to manage potential supply disruptions and reduce domestic demand for imported fuel. Pakistan has implemented austerity measures to conserve fuel amid Middle East conflict concerns.
