Residents in these sectors are advised to make alternative arrangements during this time and refrain from using gas-powered appliances. Additionally, there is an expectation of a gas price hike by the caretaker government on the demand of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The IMF has called for an increase of 45-50 percent in gas prices, which has raised concerns among the public due to rising fuel costs.
