This is not a relief or financial aid scheme like the Punjab Ramzan Relief Package 2026, but it’s a city-fix programme that hits your street, your drains, your daily commute.
Punjab has officially launched the “Sohna Punjab” Programme today under the leadership of CM Punjab Maryam Nawaz to tackle these everyday city problems — not through cash payments, but through on-ground urban development.
This is not a relief or financial aid scheme. It is a city-upgrade programme focused on fixing core infrastructure issues that affect daily life.
What it is (in one line)
A Punjab government development programme to improve city services and infrastructure.
What it’s NOT (avoid misinformation)
- No cash aid / relief payments
- No online application
- No CNIC eligibility check
- No “apply now” portal
People looking for financial assistance should check BISP 8171 Latest Updates, as the Sohna Punjab Programme does not offer any cash payments or CNIC-based support.
What the Sohna Punjab programme aims to improve
- Sanitation and cleanliness
- Sewerage and drainage systems
- Roads and streets
- Public spaces and basic urban facilities
Where Sohna Punjab will run
Phase 1:
More than 50 cities across Punjab
Priority is expected for:
- Areas with severe sanitation problems
- Cities facing drainage and waterlogging issues
- Localities with damaged roads and poor infrastructure
More cities may be included in later phases.
Who benefits (even without cash)
Even without direct payments, the programme can help:
- City residents and families (cleaner environment)
- Shopkeepers and businesses (better surroundings, fewer blockages)
- Daily commuters (improved roads and flow)
- Communities affected by waterlogging and sewerage problems
In short, the benefit comes through better living conditions, not money transfers.
What the government says
Officials describe it as a major province-wide urban improvement initiative, with promises of monitoring and timelines so results appear on the ground.
What you should do (simple)
- Follow official updates only
- Ignore posts claiming “registration” or “cash money” unless confirmed by government sources
- Watch for city-wise work announcements and local implementation updates
Your City, Your Responsibility: How to Report Issues?
If your street is still dirty, sewerage is blocked, or the “Sohna Punjab” team hasn’t reached your area yet, don’t just wait—take action! The Punjab government has launched dedicated platforms for citizens to report problems directly.
3 Easy Ways to Register Your Complaint:
- Official CM Helpline (0800-02345): Call this toll-free number from any mobile or landline. Explain your issue (e.g., broken road, trash piles) and provide your area name. You will receive a Tracking ID to monitor the progress.
- Suthra Punjab Helpline (1139): For specific issues regarding garbage collection and cleanliness, call 1139. This is the primary helpline for Waste Management Companies (WMC) across Punjab.
- CM Punjab Portal & Mobile App: Download the “Suthra Punjab Shehri” app from the Play Store. You can upload a photo of the issue with your GPS location. This is the fastest way to get a response as it provides visual proof to the authorities.
Pro Tip: When filing a complaint, always mention a nearby famous landmark (like a school or mosque) to help the field teams find your street quickly.
Bottom line
Sohna Punjab is a development programme launched today to fix city problems — not a public aid/relief package.
It won’t put money in your hand,
but it can improve the city you live in.
