Turn clocks back for an extra hour of sleep tonight

Clocks moved back by an hour across the country

Clocks across the country were moved back by one hour on Saturday midnight. The government had introduced daylight saving on April 15 to help overcome the electricity shortfall which had touched 4,000 megawatts during summer.

According to rough estimates provided by the ministry of water and power, about 250 megawatts of power were conserved daily thanks to the decision to advance the Pakistan Standard Time (PST) by an hour. A ministry official said that one megawatt cost one million dollars.
