Chief Minister (CM) of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, has announced the launch of a special programme titled "Maryam Ko Batayein", during Ramzan to provide immediate financial assistance to eligible families.

“The programme will be launched from the first of Ramzan to ensure prompt support for people facing financial hardship. Under the initiative, eligible individuals will be able to receive financial assistance of up to Rs10,000 within 24 hours,” the chief minister said in a post on X on Monday.

A dedicated helpline, 1000, will become operational from the start of Ramzan, allowing applicants to request assistance. Individuals can also apply by entering their CNIC number on a web portal or mobile application. Verification will be carried out through a digital system.

The programme will include live tracking, digital record-keeping, and monitoring to maintain transparency. Registered applicants under the Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER) database will receive funds within 24 hours, while verification and registration of new applicants will be completed within four days.

Maryam Nawaz said the government will ensure access to state resources for every deserving individual in need during Ramzan.
