Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Saturday said the province is opening economic zones and industrial estates to investors, with the Garment City Plug and Play project ready to start immediately.
She highlighted efforts to reduce electricity costs, saying Punjab currently has 2,400MW of power and aims to bring per-unit prices down to Rs16-17.
Speaking to delegates from the 27th National Security Workshop of the National Defense University, Nawaz Sharif emphasized the government’s flood relief operations, which saved millions of people and livestock and prevented outbreaks of infectious diseases.
The CM said trillions of rupees worth of projects are ongoing without complaints of corruption and expressed confidence that Punjab would become corruption-free within five years. She also noted challenges from unfair resource distribution and lack of accountability affecting public sector performance.
Climate initiatives were highlighted, including smog gun spraying and restrictions on crop residue burning, which have helped reduce pollution and drawn international recognition.
