LAHORE: The Punjab Assembly has passed a bill to increase the salaries of its members by a majority vote, raising the monthly salary of MPAs to Rs 500,000.

The bill, which came into effect from January 1, reportedly received significant support in the assembly. After its approval, members were visibly happy and congratulated each other.
