Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz announced on Thursday that the provincial government will introduce a Rs400-billion package for farmers in the next four months.
She made this announcement while addressing a public gathering in Phool Nagar - where she inaugurated a rural health centre (RHC).
“As far as our farmers are concerned, I promise you that we are going to introduce a Rs400-billion package for our farmers within the next four months,” she said, adding that each farmer will get Rs150,000 on each crop through Kisan Card.
With this amount, she said, farmers will be able to buy fertiliser and seeds.
The chief minister claimed there was no wheat crisis in Punjab and that the provincial government had stopped “all the doors for corruption” in the process of wheat procurement.
“The interest of 130 million people of Punjab is supreme to me,” the chief minister remarked, adding that Nawaz had been insisting on working for the masses’ welfare.
She added that the government has been working day and night to improve health and education in the province.
The chief minister said that progress in the country stopped whenever Nawaz Sharif’s government was removed.
“Pakistan and Punjab would be completely changed if the current government completed the five-year term,” she said, describing herself and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, as elder Sharif’s soldiers.
