Further, addressing the quake victims, he said the process of compensation to families who lost their loved ones in the earthquake has been completed.

"There has been a delay in compensation for those whose houses were destroyed by the calamity because the damage is far more than we had imagined, but this process too will be completed by November 24," Nawaz stated.

"Victims who suffered from complete property damage will receive Rs0.2 million, whereas those whose houses were destroyed partially will receive Rs0.1 million," he added.
