Jahangir Khan was also impressed by the humanitarian work, saying it is very pleasant to witness a massive campaign that is being carried out to provide relief goods to the citizens of Karachi.

According to Rahim Shah, he is impressed by the discipline shown here by volunteers and how data is being maintained for the distribution of ration among the underprivileged people in the metropolis.
