Beneficiaries may visit 160 dedicated centres established by district administrations at every Tehsil or more than 20,000 branchless outlets/agents under Bank of Punjab (HBL Konnet, AlfaPay, and UBL Omni) for activation of the Negahban Card and withdrawal of cash.
Earlier, the provincial government launched a new special digital platform ‘Talk to CM’, aimed at enabling youth to directly share their ideas and feedback with the Chief Minister.
The portal was formally launched by the chief minister, Maryam Nawaz, as part of what officials describe as a broader effort to increase youth engagement in governance.
The platform has been designed to provide young people across the province with a direct channel of communication with the chief executive of the province.
Young people will also be able to share their ideas along with basic personal information through a dedicated online interface.
The platform includes a separate section for individuals aged 20 and above, offering an interface for different age groups. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has declared 2026 as the ‘Year of Youth’.
