"Pakistan Post played a key role in reaching the BISP beneficiaries and without its assistance success of BISP was not possible," Farzana said while talking to Sardar Muhammad Umer Khan Gorgej, Federal Minister for Postal Service, who met her at BISP Secretariat on Tuesday. Raja M Ikram-ul-Haq, Secretary/DG Postal Services was also present on the occasion.
The BISP Chairperson lauded Gorgej for taking effective measures to improve the delivery mechanism of the BISP financial assistance among the beneficiary families. It may be recalled here that Pakistan Post is a major source for distribution of financial assistance through money orders at the door steps of the beneficiary families. However, some complaints regarding inefficient delivery often surface at the lower level.
