In a powerful move to support struggling families across Punjab, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has launched the Rs. 10,000 Relief Program. This initiative is designed to provide urgent financial assistance to low-income households affected by inflation, unemployment, and economic challenges.
This program marks the government’s commitment to direct cash transfers that actually reach the people, especially in rural and underprivileged communities.
یہ پروگرام ان لوگوں کے لیے ہے جو مہنگائی، بیروزگاری اور کم آمدنی کی وجہ سے بنیادی ضروریات پوری کرنے سے قاصر ہیں۔ اس میں رجسٹرڈ مستحق خاندانوں کو فوری طور پر دس ہزار روپے کی مالی امداد دی جاتی ہے تاکہ وہ اپنے گھر کے اخراجات پورے کر سکیں۔

The Rs. 10,000 Maryam Nawaz Relief Program offers one-time cash assistance to deserving families across Punjab. This scheme targets households that:
