Overview
- The Punjab Assembly was adjourned after the treasury benches failed to meet quorum on Monday, stopping planned work including several bills and audit reports.
- Speaker Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan questioned a proposal to let police recover e‑challan fines and warned that blocking passports for challan defaults would likely exceed legal authority.
- Parliamentary Secretary Khalid Mahmood Ranjha told the house the Lahore High Court has already ruled on parts of the e‑challan issue and was directed to examine the matter further if new legislation or a committee referral is needed.
- Opposition MPA Sardar Shahabuddin reported heavy flood damage in Layyah — about 700–800 houses washed away and thousands affected — and the speaker ordered Local Government Minister Zeeshan Rafiq to arrange immediate relief and to brief the assembly.
- PPP MPA Shazia Abid alleged widespread problems in the Suthra Punjab sanitation scheme, saying many workers have quit because they were paid Rs20,000 instead of the promised Rs40,000 with payments delayed for months, a complaint that could affect service delivery and labour rights in the province.
