Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz said those who were here for four years were playing the game of guessing whether the country would default today or tomorrow but they were disappointed, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Saturday. 

Addressing Mass Transit Bus launching ceremony in Gujranwala, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz said today, Pakistan is becoming stable and economic development is taking place. 

She said every development project of Punjab has the seal of PML-N President Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. 

“Crime in Punjab has decreased by 80 percent and it has become a safe province,” Maryam Nawaz said and added “Now, we are going to make the province weapons free.” 

She said Punjab will be drug-free in the coming days and government is going to deweaponize Punjab very soon. 

The CM's chair has been made a joke in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. CM KP should focus on the problems of his province instead of sitting in front of the Adiala Jail, Maryam Nawaz said.

Surrender of [U1] Illegal Arms Act 2025

The Punjab government has prepared a new law to make the province free of illegal weapons.

In this regard, the draft of the Punjab Surrender of [U2] Illegal Arms Act 2025is complete.

The law proposed heavy fines and punishment for illegal weapon owners.

The government will give a 15-day grace period for the public to handover illegal weapons with the police station or CCD without fear.

No legal action will be taken against those who handover weapons within the stipulated period.

A receipt for the weapons will be issued and a digital record of each weapon will also be created.

Strict action will be taken against those who do not surrender illegal weapons under the law.

A complete investigation will be conducted on licensed weapon owners.

The licenses of tax defaulters and people with serious cases may be cancelled.

If the justification for possessing weapons is not proven, the license can be cancelled immediately.

As soon as the legislation is completed, action will be taken against those who possess illegal weapons in the province.
