      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on Wednesday inaugurated Punjab’s first electric bus project, calling it a significant milestone in the province’s journey towards a modern and eco-friendly transport system.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the launching ceremony at Expo Centre, Lahore, Maryam Nawaz emphasised that public relief remains a top priority.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She stated that within just one year, projects equivalent to a five-year development plan have been initiated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maryam Nawaz revealed that 27 electric buses have arrived and will start operating tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330403322/maryam-nawaz-launches-asaan-karobaar-programme"&gt;Maryam Nawaz launches ‘Asaan Karobaar’ programme&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She added that 500 more electric buses will arrive in August, making Punjab’s public transport environmentally friendly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She declared that the “Green Punjab” vision is now a reality.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Special individuals will receive free bus cards, while fares for electric buses will range between Rs20 to Rs35.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Punjab CM also issued a strict warning against harassment of women, ensuring that offenders will be held accountable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maryam Nawaz also announced that Punjab’s first government-run air ambulance service will be operational soon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Maryam Nawaz criticised the previous provincial government, claiming that they would not operate without bribes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking at multiple events, she stressed that political differences should be expressed with decency, but some groups resort to attacks on the country’s institutions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the Chief Minister’s Office, Maryam Nawaz met with 49 female students and 14 women faculty members from various universities and colleges in Balochistan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She presented them with laptops and gifts, while the visitors honoured her with a traditional Balochi shawl.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She announced that Punjab’s scholarship programme — which will provide 13,000 students with financial aid and 100,000 students with laptops — will now also include students from Balochistan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The delegation praised Punjab’s education, health, and infrastructure projects, stating that Punjab is leading the way compared to other provinces.&lt;/p&gt;
