The Rs. 19 billion project aims to establish one Sahulat Bazaar and one on-the-go facility in every tehsil, covering all 154 tehsils in 38 districts. Currently, 27 Sahulat Bazaars and 41 on-the-go facilities are under construction, with 24 Sahulat Bazaars and 23 on-the-go facilities expected to open soon. Once completed, Sahulat Bazaar facilities will be available in 139 of Punjab's tehsils. The expansion will provide affordable daily-use items to the public, with projects in 15 remaining tehsils set to receive contracts within a week. The government plans to expand the network in Lahore, addressing the need for more facilities in a city of over 15 million residents.",
