A fleet of 15 electric buses has been launched in Jhelum, marking a significant step toward sustainable and modern urban transport in the district under the vision of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. The initiative aims to enhance public transportation while promoting eco-friendly and energy-efficient mobility solutions.

The launch ceremony, held on Monday, featured Minister of State for Railways Bilal Azhar Kayani, who emphasized that the project will provide residents of Jhelum with modern transport facilities comparable to those in larger cities across Punjab.
