PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – Amid concerns over a potential fuel shortage in Pakistan, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to ground 60 percent of official vehicles to save energy and reduce expenses.
The provincial administration said this measure is expected to save millions of rupees by limiting the operation of government vehicles.
Official vehicles will remain grounded for a period of two months. However, vehicles serving emergency services, including the police, rescue teams, and other essential services, are exempt from this decision.
An official notice issued by the administration directed Principal Accounting Officers to ensure strict compliance with the decision. Authorities said the move is part of the province’s broader efforts to conserve fuel and manage resources efficiently.
