ISLAMABAD: The federal capital administration has intensified the implementation of energy conservation measures by ensuring the closure of markets and commercial centers according to officially prescribed timings.
The initiative is part of the government’s broader campaign aimed at promoting energy efficiency and reducing electricity consumption across the country.
In this regard, monitoring teams have been deployed in various areas of Islamabad to ensure strict compliance with government directives.
As part of the ongoing measures, business operating hours have been restricted, and commercial establishments are required to close within the designated timeframe.
