Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has issued a strict directive to ensure that Rescue 1122 emergency services are fully operational in every tehsil of the province. The decision aims to enhance the province’s emergency response capabilities and provide timely medical, fire, and disaster assistance to all citizens.

Under the new directive, officials are required to implement the plan immediately and submit regular progress reports to the provincial government. The move reflects a proactive approach to public safety, ensuring no area in Punjab is left without critical support during emergencies.

The initiative also emphasizes rapid response for natural disasters, accidents, and health emergencies, strengthening coordination between local authorities, hospitals, and Rescue 1122 units. By expanding the operational reach of the emergency service, the provincial government hopes to reduce response times and save lives during critical situations.
