Pakistan's Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, has banned the use of red carpets for federal ministers and government figures at official events. The ban was communicated through an official announcement by the Cabinet Division. The only exception to this rule will be diplomatic receptions, where red carpets will still be allowed. The ban on red carpets at official events is part of a broader government initiative to foster a more responsible attitude toward public finances.
