Over Rs71bn disbursed among flood victims since 2010: NADRA
The spokesperson said that NADRA has disbursed Rs37.12 billion to 950,523 beneficiaries in the second phase. The disbursement included Rs362 million for Azad Kashmir, Rs150 million for Gilgit-Baltistan, Rs11 billion for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Rs13.56 billion for Punjab, over Rs11.54 billion for Sindh and Rs476 million for Balochistan.
NADRA has resolved 377,526 appeals through Grievance Redressal System for Citizen Damage Compensation Programme (CDCP) in Phase-II. The body has so far disbursed over Rs71 billion to flood victims in both phases.
The first phase of Watan cards was launched in September 2010, whereby the government distributed an initial tranche of Rs20,000 among 1.75 million affected families in order to provide immediate relief.
The programme worth US $580 million has been part of a collaboration between the government of Pakistan and international donor agencies such as World Bank and USAID.

Hope most of the 71 billion went to needy people and not to politicians and fraudsters (not that there is much difference between these two).
