PM to take modesty measures amid hike in POL prices

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

According to the details, PM has decided to cut down cabinet size and free petrol to cabinet members. 

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.

In a statement, Murad Ali Shah said that reducing the petrol quota will not increase the burden on the exchequer. “Overburdening the treasury means overburdening the masses.”
