Benazir Income Support Programme Chairperson Marvi Memon called on Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif and discussed on-going projects, particularly ‘Waseela-Taleem Programme’ to help low-wage families.
Speaking on the occasion, the chief minister said that it’s the obligation of the state to provide relief to the low-income families; that is the reason PML-N government is burning through billions of rupees to enhance low-wage families’ way of life. He said that Punjab Social Protection Authority has been set up to unite every single social programme under one roof which has helped social projects and upgrading their utilities. The Waseela Programme will be extended in the province with a specific end goal in order to maximise the benefit from this program.
Marvi Memon also briefed about the progress of relief providing programmes for low-salary families, adding that these projects are working in seven areas of Punjab and quick strides will be taken to expand their range.
