ISLAMABAD: In a bid to rein in rising energy consumption amid a deepening fuel crisis, the federal government on Monday ordered markets and shopping malls across most parts of the country to shut by 8pm from April 7, while Sindh remains the only province yet to finalise its implementation pending consultations with stakeholders.

The decision was taken at a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, where a broader review of fuel management, energy conservation and austerity measures was carried out against the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

According to a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), the new timings will apply to Punjab, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), Islamabad, Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
