Cinemas in Lahore have been brought under the government's energy-saving campaign, with authorities directing all cinemas in the city to close by 8 p.m. as part of efforts to reduce energy consumption.
According to official directives, all single-screen and multiplex cinemas will implement the new timings. Under the arrangement, the final show of the day will run between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.
The district administration has issued orders for cinemas to comply with the energy conservation measures being enforced across Punjab and the federal capital as part of a broader austerity drive.
Officials said the campaign is being implemented to help address the energy crisis and ensure more efficient use of available resources.
The inclusion of cinemas in the energy-saving initiative is part of the government's wider efforts to reduce electricity consumption and manage energy demand through conservation measures.
