Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has ended two weekly holidays, announcing that only Sunday will be observed as a holiday in government offices.
This was one of the few directives he issued after assuming office on Tuesday.
The newly-elected Prime Minister reached his office two hours before the official office hours and took his staff by surprise.
He also changed the working hours of government offices. The government offices will now start operations at 8 AM instead of 10 AM across the country.
The Prime Minister also issued directives for immediate implementation of announcements he made in the National Assembly after being elected as Prime Minister.
On Monday, PM Shehbaz announced to increase the minimum wage to Rs. 25,000, and a 10 percent increase in pensions effective from 1 April 2022. He had also urged the business community to give a 10 percent increase to those employees with salaries up to Rs. 100,000.
The premier also ordered to ensure the supply of quality and subsidized goods in Ramadan Bazars, saying that he will personally monitor Ramadan Bazars.
“I will not tolerate negligence in providing subsidized goods to the people during Ramadan,” PM Shehbaz said.
He advised his staff to work hard and never waste a single moment.
“Honesty, transparency, diligence, and hard work are our guiding principles,” he added.
Without any thinking. The whole world is closed on Saturday what you have to do on Saturday.
Saturday is working day in many countries, Specially in Arab courtiers Saturday is first work day of week
Arab countries are extracting oil out of their lands. Are you?? stop comparing Pakitan with the so called ARab countries. They are not Arab any more. and if still love Arab countries, go and live there. Just dont pole your nose in every matter OK..!!
What an illogical reply. I only shared information that Saturday is not off in many countries. Cool down please.
great shot…!
Which Arab Country is working on Saturday.? All Middle East closed on Saturday. Their first day of Week is Sunday.
Thanks Mian Sahib, We need to work hard.
come on man grow up. It is not the era to work hard. It is the ear belonging to those who are working smart. To no surprise as they said we are in Purana Pakistan. We might find people like you opting for traditional way working hard. Just because of poeple like you we have lost a gem. LOL
Agreed. Often the non visionary people give such outdated and short sighted tips to impress others.
exactly i thought that too very true 200 percent
Could you elaborate what would be considered “smart”? How can the gov work smart? Any tips?
And could you also enlighten us on what you have achieved from working Smart? And how you did it? We will be thankful to you.
Would you also mind telling where and how that hypocrite gem shone? What example of good governance he set? By increasing inflation? Taking a ridiculous amount of debt each year? Giving the economy a set back? Increasing the percentage of interest on which they take debts? Increasing fuel prices? Or increasing energy prices? Or anything else?
Thankyou PM. much needed. We shouldn’t blindly copy west .We have our own peculiarities. Two days off for an already scrounging nation is too much. Better still would be to have Friday off instead of Sunday because on Friday people sop working at 11 am on excuse of Juma prayers.
Yea, your suggestion is great but, unfortunately it has its own problems. You may want to watch a video on Bangladesh’s bank heist in YouTube to get an idea why that can be exploited.
Stupid decision Puri duniya off hai Saturday ko.. Jaise pehle kam nhi ho rahey they. Week main 5 din jaise kam they
Its impractical to set the time to 8AM as people have to drop off their kids and then get to work.
Yea, that is concerning. Maybe 9/9:30 would have been better
it is indeed a great SHOCK for the Bankers….!
Many bank branches are open on Saturday. And it is forced in gov departments, private companies are probably free to decide.
why government and private sectors are so different in their nature of job. kindly explain. private sector take more work and pay less as compare to government offer more benefit, is this equality.
Probably one reason is that private sector operates on it’s “own money” and works “for profit” and reducing costs is a part of that. On the other hand, gov doesn’t have “apne pase” sab awam ka tax he, isi liye ek bande ke kam ke liye 10 employees he, or kam ek bhi nhi krta, kyo ke gov/director/heads ke konsi apni jaeb se pase jane he.
Countries are trying three days off and four days week. This guy came with 6 days week. What you can expect from these old minded people? Rather than doing this, work from 8 am to 6 pm 4 days a week and three days off. People will have more time to spend with their families and help their mental health too.
Which countries? Any examples?
Khud Rozey nahy rakhta. Dosron key Rozey kharab kar deya. Stupid Man, Stupid and Nonsense Decision. Many peoples come to duty from far away..Now they are in trouble..
5 Din Mey Konsey Pakistani Kam karta they. Jo ab 6 din Mey kar lengey. Stupid
Pakistanis needs to work hard. All developed countries have achieved progress through hard work.
what will be your comment about politicians who only come in government for corruption and enjoyment . and about rich peoples who do not pay tax and becoming rich day by day. such types comments are only for poor peoples become hard working for development of your country.
