   ECC approves financial support for PTV and motorway projects

   Most outlets highlighted the Economic Coordination Committee's approval of financial measures, with a primary focus on the Rs13 billion grant for Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) and sovereign guarantees for the Sialkot-Kharian motorway. While some, like *The Express Tribune* and *Business Recorder*, led with the motorway funding details, others such as *Dawn* and *24 News HD* emphasized the PTV grant. *ProPakistani* and *Business Recorder* specifically mentioned the Rs27.62 billion sovereign guarantees for the motorway, while *Dawn* described the PTV grant as a "lifeline for struggling PTV." No outlet explicitly framed the decisions as controversial or politically charged.
