Yes. Harsh Pakistani conditions accelerate oil degradation:

High temperatures thin the oil faster, reducing viscosity and causing burning

Dust ingress especially with poor air filter maintenance causes sludge buildup, damaging piston rings
These factors collectively increase oil consumption, especially if the engine is idled frequently o r driven aggressively in traffic.
