All Pakistani’s will be updating and advancing their watches by one hour from June 1

The federal cabinet has decided that all major commercial centres and shopping plazas would be closed at 9 pm from June 1 to the end of August to help overcome the problem of load-shedding.

The cabinet also revived the policy to advance the watches by one hour for three months from June 1 to take advantage of the daylight. The industrial units were being asked to stagger their weekly holidays while shops would be encouraged to have weekly holiday on Friday instead of Sunday.

The cabinet also decided that air conditioners in all the government offices would remain off from 8.00 am to 11.00 am. Wapda would not provide electricity for neon signs.

Do you think these steps would help in saving the electricity? How these power saving steps would affect business and trade activities? Write your comments.
