LAHORE – Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif chaired a high-level meeting on Saturday to review the progress of the Model Village, Suthra Punjab, and Waste to Value initiatives. She emphasized the urgent need for timely completion and clear project timelines.
Officials informed the chief minister that work on 1,200 model villages across Punjab is underway, with the pilot phase of 130 villages already completed. They presented technical details, including the implementation of solar-powered water and sewage systems.
