ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Pakistan will advance the official clock by one hour at the stroke of midnight Saturday to use more daylight time in a bid to conserve energy, the interior ministry said.

 

















The move is one the measures announced by the government recently to save energy that also included closing shopping centres by 9 pm, earlier than the usual 11pm to midnight, from June 1.

The change will put Pakistan's clock six hours ahead of the GMT.

The country has in recent months been hit by a massive shortfall of around 4,000 megawatts of power, which has resulted in long daily power outages causing hardship and putting a strain on businesses.
