BANNU:
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced a Ramazan package worth Rs20,000 for each family of internally displaced persons (IDPs) on Friday.

Earlier this morning, the premier arrived in Bannu in a helicopter to visit the camps and was received by Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif. Nawaz was accompanied by Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Chief Minister Pervez Khattak, K-P Governor Sardar Mehtab Abbasi and Ministry of States and Frontier Regions (SAFRON) Minister Lieutenant General (retd) Abdul Qadir Baloch.
