The Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan has said that a sum of Rs12,000 will be distributed among 12 million families from 17,000 different points and it will be started from Thursday.
He added that the programme was free of any political influence as the data was collected digitally.

“There is no question of any political affiliation in this fund,” he declared.
He said he expected everyone to take part in the relief programme initiated by the government and register with the Corona Tigers Relief Force as the government “needed (public’s) money and manpower”. It was low on resources and had to cater to a large population.
Dr Sania Nishtar, the head of the Ehsaas Programme, said that the government will carefully assess the applicants for their eligibility to the program at various levels.
Prime Minister Imran informed the media that the volunteers of Corona Tigers Relief Force had been instructed to help people who had not been able to send their NIC numbers to register for the emergency cash fund.
