\nLater, Mrs. Rubina Khalid along with Director General Balochistan Abdul Jabbar also visited Benazir Income Support Programme payment centers and Benazir Nashonuma Center in Nawakali and Sariab. Rubina Khalid interacted with the deserving women who came there to collect the money and listened to their problems.
\nOn this occasion Mrs. Rubina Khalid while talking about the health of women said that the health of young women is badly affected due to the birth of more children or less interval in the birth of children. Therefore, proper interval in the birth of children is very important.

Benazir Income Support Programme is playing an important role for better health of women and their children under its Nashonuma program.
\nChairperson Rubina Khalid directed the staff to pay the money on priority basis to the elderly and women with small children and to improve the arrangements for the deserving women so that they do not face any problem. Rubina Khalid asked the women to visit the payment center only after receiving a message from Benazir Income Support Programme official number 8171. The total amount of Kafaalat stipend is Rs. 10,500\/-. Count and receive the full amount, ask for the bank receipt and in case of any complaint immediately register your complaint on Benazir Income Support Programme helpline number 080026477, she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
