Pakistan has ordered nationwide "lockdown-like" fuel rationing and austerity measures with immediate effect due to the fuel and gas crisis causing historically low supply, per a Cabinet Division notification.
1. Shops, markets, malls and bazaars to close at 9 PM nationwide
2. Fuel for all government vehicles cut by 50% for three months
3. Complete ban on purchasing vehicles of all types
4. All official foreign travel banned for three months
5. Non-salary spending cut 5% for the full fiscal year
6. All government-funded seminars, trainings and conferences prohibited
7. No official dinners except for visiting foreign delegations
8. A single dish only at all marriage functions
Pakistan is a net fuel importer that buys most of its diesel and gasoline from Gulf refineries, and it refused Saudi Arabia's request to join the fight against the Houthis under the Mecca Pact last weekend.
