Finance Minister Bilal Azhar Kayani on Sunday said passengers appreciated the electric bus service launched by the Punjab government that ensures safe, affordable and convenient transport facility.
During the visit to his Jhelum constituency, the Prime Minister traveled by electric bus to inspect the public transport service inaugurated in Jhelum two weeks ago.
The Punjab government launched the electric bus service in Jhelum last month with a fleet of 15 vehicles, aiming to provide residents with modern, eco-friendly transport facilities on par with services available in other parts of the province.
He said in an X post that he spoke to passengers at the bus stop and during the journey to get their feedback.
“All passengers appreciated the service launched by CM Punjab which has ensured safe, affordable and convenient transport for the citizens. I was happy to see a number of women and senior citizens benefiting from the service.”
Kayani added that he also visited the Cath Lab at District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital Jhelum, which was inaugurated last Monday to provide cardiac treatment, to review the facility and check progress.
“Nine angiographies and three angioplasties have been successfully performed so far, all at no cost to the patients.”
“This is the first Cath Lab in any DHQ Hospital in Punjab. Citizens of Jhelum no longer need to travel to Islamabad or Lahore for affordable and quality cardiac care,” he added.
Kayani also met local party colleagues to discuss local issues and offered fateha and condolences to voters whose loved ones have recently passed away.
