Floods are among the biggest disasters in Punjab. They damage homes, schools, crops, animals, and destroy family incomes. To reduce these hardships, Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif has launched a special Flood Relief Package.
CM Punjab Flood Relief Card
The main part of this package is the CM Punjab Flood Relief Card, which gives Rs. 20,000 to every flood-affected family. Along with this, many other support measures have been announced.
