Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed the relevant ministries to sit with the private sector to revisit the awareness campaign regarding 20 billion rupees Ramadan Relief Package in terms of its effectiveness and outreach.   

Reviewing the monitoring mechanism of Ramadan Relief Package at National Telecommunication Corporation in Islamabad, he noted that the withdrawal from the digital wallets is about twenty percent, which is because of lack of awareness.  

He said the deserving people should call 9999 and get the required information about the digital wallets. 

The Prime Minister said the relief package is not a favour of any sort but the right of deserving people.

He said it is the first time that cash transfers of five thousand rupees are being made to the deserving families in the most transparent manner under Ramadan relief package so that they could purchase items of their own choice and requirements. He said this unprecedented initiative will benefit four million families.   

Shehbaz Sharif also sought inputs from the relevant stakeholders in a week time to further expand the volume of the relief package.

Earlier, the Prime Minister was given a detailed briefing about the monitoring mechanism of relief package.
