Building Better Roads and Bridges<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A huge chunk of this money, PKR 335.5 billion, is just for infrastructure. This includes roads, bridges, and public transport systems. Simply put, much of the budget will directly fund projects making travel easier and safer across cities, towns, and villages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Road Improvements Across Punjab<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A key highlight is the PKR 120 billion specifically for building and fixing roads everywhere in Punjab. This money aims to upgrade everything from big highways to small roads in distant areas. The goal? Faster trips and safer journeys for millions of people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Focus on Local Roads<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A big part of this road funding is the Chief Minister\u2019s Local Roads Programme, which got PKR 50 billion. This program targets repairs and upgrades for roads in smaller towns and rural communities \u2013 places that often need attention the most.<\/span><\/p>\n
