Pakistan offers free transport amid crisis

Pakistan is facing severe economic fallout from the conflict, with inflation surging and energy supplies from the Gulf disrupted.

While the government has attempted to initiate peace talks between the U.S. and Iran, officials have refuted reports of failure, calling them 'baseless fabrications.' The free transport initiative covers the capital and the most populous province, aiming to assist citizens struggling with the rising cost of living.

However, critics argue that such measures are temporary fixes for a deeper energy crisis that requires long-term strategic planning.
