Since the country of over 220 million people struggles with a severe energy shortage and demand for electricity has increased, particularly in the summer, the Sharif-led government has implemented strict controls.
In a recent development, Commissioner Karachi gave all Deputy Commissioners (DCs) new instructions to make sure that markets and commercial centres in the port city were shut down by 8:30 p.m.
In addition, officials issued stringent instructions to close wedding halls and restaurants by 10 p.m. as rising energy prices put more strain on Pakistan’s already precarious finances.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
