Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on Thursday inaugurated the first-ever electro bus service in Dera Ghazi Khan, calling it a historic milestone in transforming public transport in South Punjab.
Under the first phase, 101 electro buses are being allocated for the Dera Ghazi Khan division, with 24 buses now operational on multiple routes in the city. These include General Bus Stand to Kot Chutta, Choti Zareen, Sakhi Sarwar, Shah Din Saddar, and a loop service through DG Khan city.
Each fully air-conditioned bus is equipped with Wi-Fi, charging ports, CCTV cameras, and separate compartments for women. The initiative aims to provide safe, affordable, and modern commuting options for citizens, including students and persons with disabilities.
Maryam Nawaz personally traveled on one of the new buses, where citizens welcomed her with flowers and banners. The Chief Minister said billions would be spent on South Punjab to ensure development without political discrimination. She also pledged full compensation for families affected by recent floods, ruling out reliance on foreign aid.
