CM launches ‘Saanjhi Sabzi’ project to provide free seasonal vegetables

LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz has launched a unique public welfare initiative, titled ‘Saanjhi Sabzi’ (Shared Vegetables), in Muzaffargarh to provide free seasonal vegetables to the public.

Initiated on the chief minister’s directions, the project involves the cultivation of seasonal vegetables on vacant government land in both urban public buildings and rural areas. Under the initiative, vegetables are being grown on 140 plots spread over 139 kanals in Muzaffargarh. Residents have started receiving free vegetables according to their needs.

The project was formally launched from a village inhabited by the Christian community in Muzaffargarh. The initiative has also inspired local residents to voluntarily cultivate vegetables for the benefit of others.

Appreciating the project as a model worthy of replication, the chief minister directed deputy commissioners across Punjab to launch similar initiatives in their respective districts.

During a meeting with Deputy Commissioner Muzaffargarh Muhammad Usman Tahir Jappa, the CM Punjab commended the district administration’s public welfare efforts.
