Home delivery of ration to be monitored online

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz was informed on Tuesday that a fool-proof system had been developed to ensure transparent distribution of the Ramazan relief package to the beneficiaries.

The distribution is being monitored with the help of a live dashboard and advanced technology. A helpline has been set up, which will be launched on Wednesday. Beneficiaries will be able to register complaints through the helpline.

The chief minister was apprised that the data of NADRA and BISP beneficiaries was being used for the distribution of the Ramazan Nigehban relief packages.

Officials said during a briefing that the distribution of the packages would be completed by the 10th of Ramazan. For the first time, the Ramazan package is being delivered to every deserving person’s home.

The chief minister directed the officials to ensure high quality of package items. She said,” I will not tolerate complaints about the quality of flour, ghee, sugar and other food items.”

Under the package, 38,290 ration bags have been provided to the deserving families at their doorsteps across the province, while a transportation plan has been prepared for the distribution of 6.4 million bags.
