LAHORE: To improve Lahore's transport system and reduce pollution, more than 600 electric buses will be bought.

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has launched the "Dastak" app, through which the public is accessing 60 types of services from their homes. Additionally, revolutionary programmes like shrimp farming, a skilled program for transgender individuals, a model fish market in Lahore, and the "Himat Card" have been launched. Azma Bokhari condemned the neglect of the people in Kurram and Parachinar, who are suffering due to a lack of medicines and are protesting across Pakistan.

She stated that restoring roads in KPK is the responsibility of Gandapur, not Maryam Nawaz, and suggested that instead of trying to open gates of Adiala Jail, he should focus to open roads in KPK. The minister also congratulated Arshad Ansari and his entire panel in the Lahore Press Club elections and the newly elected officials of the Karachi Press Club.
