The Punjab Planning and Development Board has formally approved a financial relief program allocating Rs one billion for direct citizen cash assistance.
The ‘Maryam Ko Batain’ initiative will provide eligible applicants with up to Rs 10,000, accessible through a specially designed mobile application and helpline.
Applications will undergo screening, ensuring only qualified citizens receive direct payments, with transparent distribution mechanisms monitored by provincial authorities.
Officials confirmed the program will continue until the complete allocation of Rs one billion is disbursed among verified beneficiaries across Punjab province.
The Finance Department emphasized that eligibility criteria and funding mechanisms will be reviewed to guarantee organized, transparent, and accountable distribution of financial assistance.
Sources stated the initiative aims to strengthen immediate relief systems, reduce public complaints, and improve communication channels between citizens and provincial authorities.
The Planning & Development Board approved the agenda through circulation, confirming administrative endorsement for the implementation of program.
Citizens will be able to register complaints and seek assistance directly, ensuring faster responses and improved accessibility to government relief services.
Officials highlighted that the structure intends to activate complaint systems, enabling ordinary citizens to communicate problems directly and receive immediate government support.
The initiative is expected to enhance transparency, strengthen relief delivery, and ensure financial assistance reaches deserving households without delays or administrative obstacles.
