ISLAMABAD: Following Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif taking charge of the office, the timings of the federal government offices for the holy month of Ramadan have been revised.
The revised timings have been implemented with immediate effect, according to a notification issued by the Establishment Division Tuesday, and will continue to remain the same unless they are withdrawn or modified.
The newly elected premier has abolished two weekly offs in a week and government offices will now remain open six days a week instead. Moreover, the premier has also changed office timings to 8am.
On his first day in office, Shehbaz sent officials of the PM Office into panic as his surprise arrival early in the morning worried the employees and officers who had not reached the office.
Shehbaz, who is largely known for his punctuality, reached PM Office at 7am on his first day after assuming charge.
The officers and other employees of the PM Office who had not reached by that time rushed to work to avoid the wrath of the newly elected PM. –Agencies
