Online classes
The federal government is reviewing a work-from-home policy under a national plan to save fuel.
Officials are also considering shifting school classes online instead of daily campus attendance.
The proposal emerged after fears of possible oil supply disruptions in the Middle East. Tensions increased following strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran, sources said Thursday.
Sources said authorities have begun preparing a national energy conservation plan to deal with possible shortages.
Under the proposal, the government may introduce smart working arrangements similar to those used during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Officials are also reviewing a plan to shift educational institutions to online classes during March. The aim is to cut fuel consumption and reduce daily commuting.
