Fuel rationing proposal in Punjab is under serious consideration as the provincial government prepares key steps to tackle the ongoing energy crisis.

According to sources, the Punjab Energy Department has sent new recommendations to the government. These proposals aim to manage fuel shortages and reduce energy use across the province.

One major suggestion in the fuel rationing proposal in Punjab is to introduce a petrol and diesel coupon or digital system. This will ensure fair distribution of fuel among citizens.

Officials have also proposed limiting fuel supply to certain vehicles on specific days. This step is expected to control unnecessary fuel consumption.

The fuel rationing proposal in Punjab also includes extending school holidays until April 15. Authorities are also considering a hybrid education system to reduce daily travel and save fuel.

Sources say strict work-from-home instructions may be issued for private companies. This is part of a broader plan to cut energy usage.

In addition, the government may impose a ban on unnecessary events. This move aims to reduce power demand during the crisis.

The proposal also suggests increasing metro and bus services. Better public transport can help reduce the number of private vehicles on roads.

Authorities are also considering turning off LED billboards and decorative lights. Street lights may run on alternate mode after 10 PM.

Market timings could also be further restricted under the fuel rationing proposal in Punjab. Final decisions are expected after government review.
