All, The best I could find thus far (I am sure that people speaking Urdu might do better): from http://www.nation.com.pk/pakistan-news-newspaper-daily-english-online/Politi... DST starts on 1st of June http://www.defence.pk/forums/economy-development/11465-comprehensive-plan-po... "The federal cabinet has decided that all markets in the country will close by 9pm and clocks will be moved forward by an hour (GMT+6) from June 1 till the end of August to save energy during the peak summer season." http://www.nation.com.pk/pakistan-news-newspaper-daily-english-online/Politi... "He highlighted that the government was working to install new power generation on war footing, which would take some time and added that cooperation of the people to this effect would be required to conserve energy for 90 days (fist June to 31st August 2008) to help reducing of quantum of load shedding." http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2008\05\24\story_24-5-2008_pg7_29 "He said the government was working to install new power generation plants on a “war footing”, adding that load shedding could only be reduced for the next 90 days (June 1 to August 31) through the co-operation of the people." http://www.thenews.com.pk/blog/blog_details.asp?id=44 "The cabinet also revived the policy to advance the watches by one hour for three months from June 1 to take advantage of the daylight." I cannot find any concrete pointer that says it will end on this day at this time. One source I've seen says that it is expected to end at the end of August. Of course, they could easily extend it. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ | GPG: 2EAC625B My greatest fear...
