If you are looking for a direct personal email id, for sending to the Chief Minister of Punjab, then the good news is that it doesn’t exist, at least not publicly. What does exist is a series of official channels specially designed to direct citizen complaints, suggestions, and formal correspondence to the appropriate offices.
Below are all possible legitimate methods to contact the CM office of Punjab, with a few scammy tactics to look out.
There Is No Public Personal Email for the CM
Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the chief minister, has not had a personal or direct email address made public. Any site, message, or contact that says it has her personal email or phone should be a real suspect.
The Punjab government has instead a collection of official portals and a helpline, each dedicated to a specific mode of communication.
Official Ways to Contact CM Punjab
1. CM Complaint Cell Helpline
The main forum for citizens to raise their grievances is via a dedicated helpline:
Helpline: 0800-02345
It is the safe and official complaint number. Any other “personal” or “direct” number used by the Chief Minister should be considered suspicious, as the government itself did not provide it.
2. CM Complaint Cell on Social Media
The CM Complaint Cell has an active Twitter account, @CMComplaintCell, where it updates the citizens on the resolution of complaints and encourages them to reach out to the official helpline/portal instead of sending complaints directly via DMs.
3. crm.punjab.gov.pk (Complaint Portal)
The CM Complaint Cell takes citizens to the online portal of the CM, crm.punjab.gov.pk, for making a formal complaint. It is a formalized digital pathway to follow a grievance from submission to resolution.
4. cm.punjab.gov.pk (General Feedback and Contact Form)
Punjab has a website feedback and contact form (cm.punjab.gov.pk) for general communication and not to track a complaint specifically.
5. Talk to CM Portal (talk2cm.punjab.gov.pk)
Talk to CM Portal is a newer digital platform, on which citizens, particularly youth, can share their ideas, suggestions, and policy feedback directly, instead of submitting routine complaints. Designed as a participation and engagement platform, not a grievance system.
Note: It is an official Government domain (talk2cm.punjab.gov.pk), but be careful to differentiate it from third-party websites with similar-sounding names that write about it but are not government-owned. Do not enter the .gov.pk address from an unrecognized web page.
6. Chief Minister Inspection Team (CMIT)
The Chief Minister Inspection Team has its own office for inspection, monitoring, and oversight of provincial administration.
- Address: Prof. Ashfaq Ali Khan Road, Anarkali Bazaar, Lahore
- Phone: +92 42 9921 1758
- Website: cmit.punjab.gov.pk
7. Physical Mail: CM Secretariat Address
The address of the CM Secretariat is:
7 & 8 Club Road, G.O.R.-I, Lahore, Punjab
Remember that physical mail usually takes longer to reach than digital mail, and if you have an issue that requires timely attention, you can expect to receive a quicker response from the helpline or crm.punjab.gov.pk portal.
| Channel | Purpose | Contact |
|---|---|---|

Which channel is the best?
Not all methods of communication are appropriate to all situations. A rough guide:
- Have an unresolved service complaint (police, health, education, land records)? Call the 0800-02345 helpline or crm.punjab.gov.pk.
- Have a Policy Idea or Feedback as a youth? Utilize the Talk to CM Portal.
- Must write formally, such as a legal notice or official letter? Postal address of the CM Secretariat.
- Do you have any concerns about the way a department is operating or being inspected? Remember to address the Chief Minister’s Inspection Team directly.
Scam Warning Signs to Watch For
There are a few patterns that seem to crop up over and over in this area, and it is important to be familiar with them before you dig deeper:
- The fake “direct” phone numbers or WhatsApp contacts that pretend to be from the CM’s personal number. The government has not released such a figure.
- Requests for bank or other personal information on social media or through unsolicited emails purported to be from the CM office.
- Third-party sites looking authentic but with non-government domain names. When submitting any information, please ensure you are on a legitimate .gov.pk website.
- Guaranteed remedies for complaints for a fee. Complaint mechanisms are readily available.
