Car scheme

Published November 25, 2014

THE Punjab chief minister has launched a scheme for youths wherein they are being provided Mehran and Bolan cars on loan. Those entitled to receive loans must be high school graduates.

The bank takes Rs20,000 a month as monthly instalment. I request the chief minister to make it Rs10,000 for those who are underprivileged and are unable to pay Rs20,000.
