Punjab CM Maryam launches flood rehabilitation drive, announces Rs100bn aid for victims

LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz launched a flood rehabilitation initiative on Monday, announcing that Rs100 billion would be distributed to those affected by the recent floods.

Speaking at a camp in Dipalpur, Okara, CM Maryam began the distribution of relief cards to flood victims, ensuring they would receive aid without long delays. “We are distributing the first cheques today,” she said, emphasizing that the initiative was fully funded by Punjab’s resources.

“I did not ask for assistance from the rest of the world,” she remarked, highlighting her decision to limit flood relief efforts to the province’s own resources out of respect for the people’s dignity.

CM Maryam added that 70% of the survey assessing the flood damages had been completed. The survey, which she called “the biggest and most transparent in history,” was also financed with Punjab’s resources.

The government has begun distributing compensation in 15 districts: Okara, Jhang, Multan, Bahawalpur, Nankana, Muzaffargarh, Sahiwal, Lodhran, Bahawalnagar, Sargodha, Toba Tek Singh, Vehari, Kasur, Narowal, and Gujranwala.

She assured the public that the Rs100 billion allocated for flood victims would be distributed without any corruption, as she had taken measures to block any misuse of funds.

  1. I have recently started a web site, the info you provide on this website has helped me tremendously. Thanks for all of your time & work. “The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.” by Vince Lombardi.

  2. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

  3. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
