PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to implement a 25 percent reduction in fuel entitlement for official vehicles, while administrative vehicles and officers holding administrative positions will also be subject to the same fuel rationing measures.
However, exemptions will apply to police and law enforcement operations, rescue and emergency services, and operational field enforcement units.
The decision was made during the 49th meeting of the provincial cabinet held here on Monday with Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Afridi in the chair.
In view of the evolving international situation affecting petroleum supplies and prices, and the potential pressure in the country, the cabinet approved a Fuel Conservation & Responsible Governance Initiative introducing temporary measures for a period of two months to reduce non-essential fuel consumption while safeguarding economic activity, Eid travel and agricultural operations.
Later briefing the media on the important decisions of the cabinet, special assistant to Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information & Public Relations Shafi Jan said that under the initiative, government departments will maximize the use of digital platforms for official work.
