Markets in Punjab are expected to open early in the morning and shut around 9:00 p.m.
Pharmacies, bakeries, and gas stations will be excluded from the time constraints. Authorities are also considering closing restaurants and hotels early.
In the first phase, the energy-saving plan will be implemented for two months. According to insiders, the topic would be considered after the months of July and August.
