Speaking to the media, the Prime Minister’s Special Assistant on Social Protection and Poverty Alleviation Senator Dr. Sania Nishtar said, “The Rs 12,000 Ehsaas cash will be disbursed to each and every household of Harnai. Around 18,000 households in Harnai will benefit from relief cash. In the interest of transparency, all disbursements are being made through biometrically enabled Ehsaas payment system.”

Dr. Sania Nishtar also thanked the provincial government of Balochistan, armed forces, Ehsaas’ regional team, and other stakeholders for their collaborative support in ensuring smooth delivery of Ehsaas relief cash.

The Governor Balochistan Syed Zahoor Ahmad Agha visited Ehsaas payment campsites in Harnai this afternoon to inaugurate Ehsaas disbursements to affectees. He reviewed the arrangements and met with people collecting cash.

In Harnai, Governor Balochistan was also joined by senior officers of Armed Forces, Commissioner Sibbi Division, DG Provincial Disaster Management Authority, and senior officials of Ehsaas including DG Balochistan and DG Conditional Cash Transfers. Smooth payment operations have begun in all three Tehsils; Sharag, Harnai, and Khost.

Districtwide, seven Ehsaas payment campsites have been set up at Civil Hospital Sharag, Municipal Committee office, Civil Hospital, RHC Hospital Sharag, PMDC Rest House Sharag, Livestock Office Harnai, and Civil Hospital Khost.
