LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz launched the CM Punjab Ration Card 2025 to support low-income and vulnerable families across the province.
The initiative aims to provide essential food items at subsidized rates to over 1.5 million families, particularly those affected by rising inflation and the increasing cost of living.
The scheme ensures affordable access to key staples such as flour, sugar, rice, pulses, and oil. Families will receive monthly assistance of Rs3,000 or a quarterly grant of Rs 10,000, depending on their eligibility.
