Maryam Nawaz Launches Subsidy Program for Punjab Clean Air Programme
What happened

Why it matters
Reports indicate that agricultural waste, which could generate income, is often treated as a nuisance. Converting residues like rice straw into resources such as animal feed or bio-fertilisers demonstrates potential economic value. This subsidy initiative represents a new funding mechanism aimed at addressing agricultural waste and pollution in Punjab.
