Islamabad: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has announced substantial financial assistance for wheat growers who own up to 25 acres of land. In her post on social media platform X, she detailed that wheat producers would receive a subsidy of 150 rupees per liter on ten liters of diesel per acre.
According to Radio Pakistan, the Chief Minister highlighted that the surge in petroleum prices, driven by the ongoing global crisis, is influencing fuel costs in Pakistan. In response, the government is taking measures to alleviate the financial burden on farmers.
