Chief Minister of Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif has approved the establishment of 13 new Sahulat Bazaars across the province to provide affordable goods to the public.
The new markets, aimed at offering essential food items at reduced prices, will be set up in areas including Nowshera Warkan, Burewala, Kabirwala, Sangla Hill, and Jalalpur. Additional markets will also be established in Bahawalpur, Attock, and Murree.
The projects are slated for completion by August, with district administrations instructed to allocate land for the bazaars.
These markets will also be powered by solar energy, which is expected to reduce electricity costs by up to 70%, with the savings passed on to the public in the form of lower prices.
An approval of over Rs690 million has been granted for the solar energy conversion of the bazaars.
The initiative is in line with the vision of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to eliminate inflation and provide low-income and middle-class families with access to affordable food.
