LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Maryam Nawaz Sharif chaired a special meeting to review progress on transport projects, especially the electric bus service under the Punjab Clean Air Program.

During the meeting, the CM ordered that more electric buses be sent to underdeveloped areas of South Punjab. She said remote districts must be given priority instead of always focusing on big cities.

“We must stop the trend of giving every new facility to major cities first. Our small towns and villages should get equal attention,” she said.
