The government of Nepal has introduced a two-day weekend for government offices and educational institutions due to ongoing fuel supply disruptions. The new rule, announced after a Cabinet meeting, will make Saturdays and Sundays official public holidays.
The decision comes in response to global petroleum supply issues caused by the conflict in West Asia, which has impacted fuel availability and the economy across several Asian countries. Officials said the move aims to reduce fuel consumption and manage the current crisis effectively.
According to government spokesperson Sasmit Pokharel, working hours for government offices have also been revised. Offices will now operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., replacing the earlier schedule of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., to maintain productivity despite reduced working days.
In addition, the government plans to promote long-term solutions by encouraging the transition to electric vehicles. Authorities are preparing legal frameworks to convert petrol and diesel vehicles into electric alternatives, as Nepal looks to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels in the future.
