Earlier this week, the federal government decided to close markets and shopping malls across Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), Balochistan, Islamabad Capital Territory, Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B), and Azad Jammu and Kashmir by 8pm.
The decision was made during a key review meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, which focused on energy-saving strategies, petroleum products, and austerity initiatives. However, Sindh did not align with the federal government’s decision.The notification issued today stated, “Under the new rules, shops, markets, and shopping malls across all districts — except divisional headquarters — will close at 8pm throughout the week, while in divisional headquarters, businesses will be allowed to remain open until 9pm.”
