Officials said the move will allow citizens to use buses and other public transport services in the federal capital without any fare during the one-month period.\n\nhttps://twitter.com/MohsinnaqviC42/status/2040006820748775730\n\nAccording to the announcement, the Ministry of Interior will cover the cost of the initiative, with an estimated expenditure of Rs350 million allocated for the programme.\n\nAuthorities say the measure is intended to provide immediate relief to daily commuters, particularly those relying on public transport for work and essential travel. Further details regarding implementation and coverage of services are expected to be issued by relevant departments.\n\nThe post Public transport in Islamabad made free for 30 days on PM’s directive appeared first on HUM News English.",
