The Punjab Assembly has approved 38 supplementary budget grants totaling approximately $970 million for the fiscal year 2025-26. These grants cover various departments, with the largest allocations directed towards local government, public health engineering, and school education. Finance Minister Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman presented the supplementary demands for grants, citing unforeseen expenditures and revised estimates as justification. Opposition members protested the approval process, alleging a lack of detailed discussion and transparency regarding the spending. The approved funds will be used for development projects, salary revisions, and addressing urgent needs across different sectors. The government maintains the supplementary budget is essential for efficient service delivery and achieving development goals. The assembly session saw heated debate before ultimately passing the supplementary grants.
