The cabinet approved the Punjab Clean Air Programme in collaboration with the World Bank, which will include measures like electric buses, charging stations, and super seeders alongside multi-sectoral initiatives.
Funds were approved for free medicines in hospitals, the “Apni Chhat Apna Ghar Scheme Model Three” and other projects. The chief minister instructed the introduction of a farmer-friendly wheat policy.
Maryam Nawaz emphasised adopting a China-inspired model in sectors such as agriculture, IT, education, and health across Punjab.
