It is finally holiday! Marked and written holiday in a calendar.
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.
