Islamabad: Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Friday announced strict modesty measures, in a bid to minimize the burden over national reservoirs.

On the other hand, the Finance Department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has announced cutting the fuel quota by 35 percent for government officials.
Earlier today, CM Sindh Murad Ali Shah also ordered to lower the petrol allowance of members to 40 percent to save resources and lower the burden in Government expenses.
