Daylight saving, 2-day weekend back on the table
The government has decided to table an energy saving plan comprising two holidays a week, closure of shops at 8 pm, advancing clocks by one hour and turning off street lights at night at an energy summit scheduled for May 25 and 26.
Gas distribution between provinces will also be discussed at the summit that will be chaired by Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani and attended by all chief ministers to develop a consensus on the proposals.
