Cash-strapped Pakistan government Wednesday put on auction 49 more vehicles, including 19 bullet proof cars, as Prime Minister Imran Khan grappled with a major debt crisis.
The government, which has approached the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a financial bailout, sold 61 vehicles during the first auction held one month ago.
It also auctioned eight buffaloes kept at the Prime Minister House and raised more than Rs 2.3 million. The buffaloes were kept by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
The highest bid for a buffalo was Rs 385,000 and three of the cattle were bought by supporters of Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party.
Another 49 vehicles of Prime Minister's house will be auctioned on Wednesday as part of austerity drive, Radio Pakistan reported.
The vehicles up for sale also include 19 bullet proof cars, it said.
