In this regard, Member of the Provincial Assembly from PK-22 Bajaur, Nisar Baz, held several meetings with the Secretary Relief and PDMA Director Arif Yousafzai.

According to Nisar Baz, this time the people of the constituency did not face the usual difficulties during the verification process, as in many places IDPs are often subjected to unnecessary hardships in the name of registration.

He said that to ensure transparency in the entire process, constant coordination was maintained with the district administration, PDMA, and NADRA officials. 

In addition, elected chairmen of village councils and local elders were also included in the process to ensure that the affected families receive their rightful assistance.

Nisar Baz added that in the past, people affected by military operations were usually given financial assistance in installments. However, this time the amount is being provided in a single installment so that the affected families can receive immediate relief.
