\nThe relief package, which will be distributed within the first ten days of Ramazan, will provide Rs5,000 per family, disbursed through digital wallets.
\nThis financial support is expected to be particularly impactful for daily wage earners, farmers, labouers and small business owners who are struggling with inflation and rising living costs.
\nBilal Khan, a local fruit seller, expressed his gratitude for the Prime Minister for the mega package, calling it important for people in his community.
\n\u201cThe Ramazan relief package will make a huge difference for people like me who struggle to make ends meet. It will help us buy essentials for our families and observe the holy month with peace of mind.\u201d
\nSimilarly, farmers and small-scale vendors such as Misal Khan, a farmer, Lateef Shah, a hairdresser, and Shahjehan, a bread maker, thanked the Prime Minister for his timely support. \u201cThis package will ease our daily challenges and ensure that we can provide for our families during the holy month,\u201d they said.
