Minister of State for Finance Bilal Azhar Kayani on Sunday said passengers appreciated the electric bus service launched by the Punjab government, which ensures safe, affordable and convenient transportation.
During his visit to his Jhelum constituency, the State Minister traveled by the electric bus to inspect the public transport service inaugurated in Jhelum two weeks ago.
The Punjab government last month launched electric bus service in Jhelum with a fleet of 15 vehicles, aiming to provide residents with modern and environment-friendly transportation facilities, in line 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 trip to get their feedback.
“All passengers appreciated the service launched by CM Punjab which has ensured safe, affordable and convenient transportation for citizens. I was delighted to see several women and senior citizens benefiting from the service.”
Kayani added that he also visited the cath lab at District Headquarters (DHQ) Jhelum Hospital, inaugurated last Monday to provide cardiac treatment, to review the facilities and check the progress.
“To date, nine angiograms and three angioplasties have been successfully performed, all of them at no cost to the patients.”
“This is the first cath lab in any DHQ hospital in Punjab. Citizens of Jhelum no longer have to travel to Islamabad or Lahore for affordable and quality cardiac care,” he added.
Kayani also met with local party colleagues to discuss local issues and offered fathaha and condolences to constituents whose loved ones died recently.
