PESHAWAR:

The poverty survey in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) for Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) will start in April. This was said by BISP Chairperson Farzana Raja on Saturday.

Briefing parliamentarians from Fata at the Governor House in Peshawar on the survey, she said that deserving families in Fata will be registered with BISP as beneficiaries and will become entitled to receiving a monthly cash grant as well as other benefits offered by the program. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Governor Masood Kausar, Senators, national assembly members from Fata and notables including Fata Law and Order Secretary were also present.

Raja said that women belonging to Fata would need to get their National Identity Cards to be eligible for BISP.

She urged the parliamentarians to help BISP conduct the survey in their constituencies. Fata parliamentarians said that the process will be facilitated by village committees comprising local elders and religious leaders.

Governor Kausar and Raja later distributed cheques among 107 women, under the Waseela-e-Haq scheme of BISP. The scheme gives people small loans without collateral.

Munir Orakzai, Parliamentary leader for Fata in National Assembly, K-P Assembly Speaker Kiramatullah Khan Chagharmati, Senior Provincial Minister Raheem Dad Khan, federal and provincial ministers and members of the national and provincial assemblies attended the meeting.

F.K. Modern | 13 years ago | Reply Your comment is awaiting moderation) Dear Miss.

I am the founder member of the PPPP (Nov. 30 2067) and was very near to Shaheed Bhutto abd Begum Nusrat Bhutto and Shaheed Benazir from the very begining in August 1977 when she came back from UK (Oxford) during Marshalaw when Bhutto Shaheed was released to 71 Clifton Karachi, I was the first person from the whole of frontier (Khtber Pakhtunkwa) to meet Shaheed Bhutto and Begum Saheba. They sent down Shahee Benazir to receive me and talk holding my business card twisting in her hand. I asked her I am waiting for Bhutto sahib and Begum sahibb as I came from Swat. Even she (Banazir) just arrived from her studentship (Oxford U.K.) but smiled and show me my card in her hand is it yours? I said yes. She told me Papa and Mama send me to receive you and you should stay in Clifton 71 and bring your belongings here. I replied I am okey there (usually I used to stay at Jabees Hote in the Karachi Saddar as it is in the heart of the city). She insisted our shofar and waiter will go with you have to shift immediately as the situation is not so good in country because of Marshal law and this is the orders.
