ISLAMABAD: The Ramzan Package, which was initially intended to help the masses during the impending holy month, has seen an increase in volume from Rs 7.5 billion to Rs 12.5 billion, according to Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif. According to a news release from PM Office Media Wing on Sunday, mobile units would offer edible products at discounted prices in addition to utility outlets and the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP).
The first phase was to create three hundred permanent package relief centers and one thousand mobile sites. The prime minister wanted to see maximum alleviation for the impoverished. The general public would receive a variety of food items throughout Ramadan at prices lower than what is typically charged. Aside from specified locations, food items would be transported by trucks using GPS technology to various locations.
A mobile application would release a video. Using digital technology, a dashboard would be developed to monitor the sale of mobile flour. The prime minister announced a Ramzan package subsidized by Rs 7.5 billion on March 7. Food supplies would be distributed at subsidized rates of thirty percent to a total of 39.6 million individuals during the holy month of Ramadan. Flour, rice, lentils, ghee, sugar, syrup, and milk were among the products covered under BISP. The subsidy would be Rs. 70 for ghee and Rs. 77 for flour per kilogram.
