Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has announced that all new road development projects across the province will be equipped with a modern traffic management system and solar-powered streetlights as part of a wider plan to upgrade Punjab’s transport infrastructure.
According to official details, more than 30,000 kilometres of roads have so far been constructed, repaired or rehabilitated under the province’s ongoing development programme. The initiative is aimed at improving connectivity between cities, towns and rural areas while providing citizens with safer, smoother and more efficient travel facilities.
The chief minister said work under the CM Local Roads Programme was progressing rapidly in several districts. She directed the relevant departments to ensure timely completion of all road construction and rehabilitation schemes while maintaining strict quality standards, transparency and effective monitoring throughout the process.
Maryam Nawaz Sharif described the road development programme as a major step towards modernising Punjab’s infrastructure. She said multi-billion-rupee projects had been launched across the province to improve public mobility, reduce travel difficulties and support economic activity through better transport links.
The chief minister also directed authorities to enforce lane and line discipline in Lahore and other major cities. She said improved traffic regulation and better road-use behaviour were essential parts of broader urban management reforms.
In addition to road construction, transport infrastructure and bus stop development projects have been approved for Faisalabad, Gujrat, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi and Multan. These projects are expected to improve public transport facilities and make daily commuting more convenient for citizens.
Mass transit projects are also underway in Faisalabad and Gujranwala to provide modern public transport systems in major urban centres. Officials say these schemes will help reduce traffic pressure and improve access to affordable transport services.
The chief minister also highlighted the restoration of important highways in Murree under the Restoration of Roads Programme. She said the improvement of major roads in the hill station had made travel easier for both tourists and local residents.
Under the future development plan, all newly built roads in Punjab will include solar-powered streetlights. The move is aimed at promoting energy efficiency, improving road safety at night and supporting sustainable infrastructure development across the province.

On the orders of the Lahore High Court, a three-member grievance redressal committee of NEPRA has, after a formal hearing, directed the Bahria Town Lahore administration to issue residential electricity bills in accordance with the LESCO format.
The committee also instructed that all approved charges must be clearly mentioned on the bills. NEPRA rejected Bahria Town’s demand for bulk net metering facility on its bulk supply connection.
In its decision, the committee ordered the Bahria Town administration to clearly include all approved charges in electricity bills as per rules. It further directed that maintenance charges should be collected separately and must not be made part of electricity bills.
The committee also directed LESCO to install bi-directional meters on Bahria Town connections. It said that solar consumers and Bahria Town should resolve issues related to net metering agreements and exported units through mutual understanding and in accordance with the law.
NEPRA observed that Bahria Town does not possess a licence for electricity distribution and supply. It stated that Bahria Town is allegedly charging consumers an illegal flat per-unit rate along with four different types of charges.
The authority further noted that Bahria Town is illegally capping solar export units, causing serious difficulties for residents.
