Khyber Pakhtunkhawa (KP) National Accountability Bureau (NAB) initiated on Friday an inquiry to probe the alleged embezzlement by Postal Services Department (PSD) officials in the disbursement of money under Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP). A KP NAB spokesman said several complaints were received against the PSD officials who were allegedly charging every person Rs 100 to Rs 200, who came to their office to get their BISP card.
“Moreover, it was alleged that the PSD officials were giving cards to whomever they wanted to and not to the needy and the poor,” he added. “NAB initiated an inquiry into the matter to ascertain the factual position and to punish all those involved in the scam,” he said. Under the programme, money is released to the Postal Services Department, which is then distributed among the people through the local post office. It is the duty of the post office staff to give the money to the deserving people. The programme is meant to be a helping hand for all deserving people who are in dire need of financial support, so that their suffering may be alleviated on a priority basis.

So this sheds light on the denial of several worker's compensation in the postal department. If the probe is true, then there is grave injustice done to the postal workers.
