Smart Lockdown in Sindh
Provincial Local Government Minister Nasir Hussain Shah, while speaking to media in Sukkur, stated that proactive measures are necessary today to avoid greater difficulties tomorrow. He emphasized that the country’s situation is not normal and warned that if the Iran conflict prolongs, Pakistan could face serious repercussions, particularly in petroleum supply.
He revealed that the Sindh government is considering implementing a smart lockdown to manage a potential fuel shortage. “If the conflict continues for long, everyone will face difficulties,” he added.
Meanwhile, Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon stated that the provincial government is fully implementing decisions made by the federal government and is taking further steps to effectively handle the evolving situation.
As part of austerity measures, he announced that the Sindh cabinet has decided to forgo their salaries for three months. Additionally, a work-from-home policy has been introduced for Fridays to help conserve fuel.
