Pakistan's policy limiting weddings to one course is being re-emphasised – but why? It’s one of the government’s cost-cutting measures as Pakistan struggles with the fallout of war in the Middle East. Closing down schools, a four-day workweek for some, and slashing salaries of top government officials are also on the list. Last week, the price of fuel in Pakistan saw its biggest rise on record. The panic buying got so out of hand, an employee at a petrol station was shot dead. Now Pakistan’s navy has launched a maritime security operation to protect supplies of energy it’s importing. Pakistanis are hoping these measures will provide some relief for an economy that’s already struggling. #Paki
