CEO Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar chaired a meeting in his office on Monday which approved CEO Punjab Insaaf Imdad’s Rs10 billion package.
At the meeting, the chief minister ordered the allocation of financial assistance to the poor families through a process that was insensitive at the earliest opportunity.
The meeting was told that Rs4000 will be given to 2.5 million deserving families and the financial grant under Chief Minister Punjab Insaaf Imdad Package will be in addition to the relief package of the federal government to facilitate the daily wagers.
Giving detail of the package, Usman Buzdar said that applications will be received online and after the verification of the antecedents, the money will be transferred online while complaints will also be launched using the same mechanism. He directed that the application form be made simple and only necessary information like names, CNICs and mobile phone numbers of the applicants be collected.
The Punjab government, he said, had taken unprecedented steps to deal with coronavirus and the impecunious families will not be left alone.
