     Pakistan sets clock ahead by one hour

 Pakistan has introduced daylight saving time for the first time this weekend, becoming the only country in South Asia to change its clocks for the summer. Clocks were moved forward an hour, to GMT plus six hours, at midnight, the government said. 

 Pakistan said the move would be adopted annually only if liked by the people. Benefits include more time for leisure after work and lower power consumption, it said.  Pakistan?s time change means it will be 30 minutes ahead of India.

Radio Pakistan was noted today with programs 1 hour earlier than before on MW & SW.

Eg: Home Service 4790, 5027, 7094.4

External Services:

* 0015-0100 Bengali, 0100-0145 Hindi, 0145-0215 Tamil
all on 11580 & 15455.

* Urdu was noted sign off at 0115 on 15485 & 17500.

* 0230-0300 15325 Gujarati
