On a side note, majority of the officers are starting to live in flats. Both serving and retired.

Fake news, The paujis will rebel. Half of the attraction of the Army to recruits is perks.
The establishment culture is perks.
The Faujis would rather surrender again to the Indian army ten times than let go of these.

Honestly, they'll likely target (and clamp down) on imports. Not only are imports are a fiscal strain, but they cause economic damage (at least in Pakistan's current conditions) by removing hard currency and (if all imports are to be taken collectively) force depreciation of PKR (by boosting demand for foreign currency).

In other words, it isn't perks or benefits that are on the radar for austerity, but big-ticket purchases from abroad.

It is more sinister than the clickbait..The purpose is to create the friction.

In other news, reliable sources have reported that after a telephone call between Imran Khan and Asif Ali Zardari the latter has decided to implement austerity measures in Sindh as well and also help in bringing back the looted money from abroad.

As the first measure, Bilawal houses in Karachi and Lahore will be donated to Edhi foundation. While in a meeting of PPP's parliamentary party it was decided that Asif Ali Zardari, Faryal Talpur and Sharjeel Memon will bring back $ 4 Billion each from their overseas accounts, this will solve the Pakistan's present balance of payment crisis and government won't be going to IMF.

Following the development Federal Finance Minister Asad Umer has called IMF's MD Christine Lagarde which resulted in a heated argument which according to our sources ended up with minister hanging up the phone while shouting IMF Teri Pehn Di S**i

I would rather believe this news than believing our military is going to let go of their perks. Thank you.

Halt the purchase of expensive staff cars and also cut down the excessive use of staff cars by military brats and moms.
