Pak employees face heat: Up to 30% salary cuts in state firms amid fuel crisis
Pakistan's Prime Minister has approved significant salary cuts for state-owned enterprise employees, ranging from 5 to 30 percent, as part of a broad austerity drive. This move follows a sharp fuel price hike linked to the Middle East conflict. The government is also reducing fuel allocations for official vehicles and banning new purchases to fund public relief efforts.
