The ongoing war between America and Iran is affecting many countries. Many countries including India are struggling with gas shortage. There has also been a shortage of petrol and diesel. For this reason, important steps have been taken in many countries regarding energy saving. In this regard, ‘Work from Home’ policy has been implemented in Indonesia. Other rules have been implemented to save oil. Shops in Egypt have been ordered to close early. India’s neighboring countries Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are also going through crisis.
According to the report of ‘Reuters’, rules regarding working from home have been implemented in Indonesia. Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister of Economy Airlangga Hartarto said, ‘In this ‘work from home’ scheme, we will adapt the governance system to the digital workspace and promote efficient mobility. This includes limiting the use of official vehicles other than electric vehicles to 50 percent and emphasizing the use of public transport.
Oil crisis deepens in Pakistan
Neighboring country Pakistan is also facing oil crisis due to Iran war. These days, many such videos were seen on social media in which huge queues were seen in front of petrol pumps.

The Bangladesh government is also considering starting partial online classes in schools to reduce the pressure of energy crisis and domestic problems. Education Minister A.N.M. Ehsanul Haq Milan said that this proposal will be implemented after discussion with Prime Minister Tariq Rahman. If we talk about Sri Lanka, there is also an oil crisis going on there.
