LAHORE: Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on Thursday launched the “Talk to CM” portal, a platform designed to facilitate direct communication and feedback to her.

“For the first time in Punjab’s history, a dedicated portal has been established to enable citizens particularly youth to directly share their ideas with the chief minister,” Maryam Nawaz said.

Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb briefed the CM about the portal, saying that separate sections and interfaces have been created for youth aged 20 years and above.

“Through this portal, young people from across the province will be able to share their ideas, suggestions, and feedback regarding government programmes and development projects,” Aurangzeb said and added the CM had declared 2026 as the “Year of Youth.”

The portal would allow young citizens to communicate directly with the CM and provide constructive input on ongoing initiatives. The minister further said that users would be able to submit their ideas on the portal along with their name and brief personal information.

“A dedicated interface has specifically been developed for individuals aged 20 and above to ensure effective engagement.”
