As part of energy austerity measures announced on 17 September 2026, markets across Pakistan were ordered to close at what time?

Explanation: The government reintroduced austerity measures for fuel conservation, ordering markets to close at 9pm and eateries at 11pm, halving fuel allocation for government vehicles and allowing only a single dish at wedding-related events. The measures respond to the LNG and petroleum supply crunch caused by the Gulf conflict and the Hormuz closure. CSS aspirants should connect energy conservation policy to Pakistan's import bill, circular debt and the recurring use of administrative demand-management rather than structural energy reform.
