Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi (PMAS-AAUR) on Thursday reduced the petrol quota of the university officials by 40 percent owing to rising prices of petroleum products.
Speaking at a meeting held on Thursday, PMAS-AAUR Vice Chancellor Dr Qamar Zaman said that a reduction in the petrol quota would ease pressure on the university budget. In view of the ongoing inflation in the country and especially the continuous rise in the prices of petroleum products, the decision to reduce the petrol quota of the officers was taken, he added.
The petrol quota of all varsity officers was reduced by 40%, while also adopting austerity measures due to the prevailing inflation mainly because of the rising in prices of petroleum products as per the government policy. The VC said, "We should further restrict our movements, and if possible, the meetings should be held through a video link or online instead of going anywhere."
