Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, the leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), has announced a new relief package for electricity users in Punjab. Starting in August and September, people who use up to 500 units of electricity will see a reduction of Rs. 14 per unit on their bills.
The government is spending Rs. 45 billion on this relief package to help consumers during the hot summer months. Additionally, Rs. 700 billion has been set aside for a solar energy program to support the middle class.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised the package, calling it a “great example of helping people” and applauding Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif for their efforts. This package is expected to help millions of people in Punjab.
