The Punjab Cabinet has approved several new initiatives on the direction of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif. These include “Chief Minister Punjab Kisan Card Program” and “Apni Chhat Apna Ghar” program, both of which are scheduled to start from August 14.
Apart from these measures, the cabinet also decided on many other important matters. It has been decided to stop extending the allotment of government accommodation to retired officials. They provided incentives to doctors who practice in remote areas to meet the need for healthcare in those areas.
The cabinet’s adoption of the Punjab Sikh Anand Karaj Marriage Registrar Rules 2024 was an important decision. It is an important moment for the Sikh community as Punjab has become the first province to enact the Sikh Marriage Act.
The cabinet also approved measures aimed at managing the rainy season effectively. They also decided to build a garment city to support the regional textile industry. In an effort to improve education, the cabinet approved plans to improve nutrition and curriculum in government schools.
These choices demonstrate the Punjabi government’s commitment to improving the quality of life, healthcare, education and employment opportunities for its people.
