As many as 112 deserving couples were married in a mass wedding ceremony held in Attock under the ‘Dhee Rani’ program launched by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif.
The grand ceremony was organised at a local marriage Hall by the district administration in collaboration with the Social Welfare Department. Member of the National Assembly Tahira Aurangzeb attended the event as the chief guest.
Addressing the ceremony, Tahira Aurangzeb said that the Punjab government is providing practical support to white-clad and deserving families through mass marriages. She added that welfare initiatives are being expanded in line with the vision of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif.
She termed the “Dhee Rani” program a historic initiative aimed at supporting underprivileged families and promoting social harmony. “It is the responsibility of the government to extend tangible assistance to weaker sections of society. Ensuring the dignified departure of deserving daughters is among the top priorities of the Punjab government,” she said.
The MNA further stated that welfare projects contribute to social uplift and solidarity, adding that the provincial government plans to broaden the scope of such initiatives in the future.
Speaking to the media on another matter, Tahira Aurangzeb commented on the health of the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). She said that specialist doctors at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) are examining and treating him, and described his health as stable. She also made critical remarks regarding his reaction to his current circumstances, stating that he is receiving proper medical care and that there is no cause for concern.
