The mini-train for kids will be installed at the park in front of the Lahore Railway Station while a fountain will also be constructed for amusement.

The chief minister also approved the construction of roads and footpaths within a three-kilometer radius.

Furthermore, CM Maryam also directed that all newly constructed roads be equipped with solar-powered streetlights.

The provincial government has also greenlighted a project for digitalization of toll plazas across the province, replacing paper slips with an electronic toll collection system.

A “One App, One System” model, similar to the motorway’s electronic toll mechanism, will be launched at 38 toll plazas across Punjab.

The participants of the meeting also said the 93-kilometer-long Multan–Vehari Road would be Punjab’s first “dust-free” road, expected to be completed by June 2026.

Similarly, the Quaid-e-Azam Interchange to Wagah Tourism Corridor will also be completed by June next year.
