On Sunday, Prime Minister Imran Khan said that the government would expand the network of Koi Bhooka Na Soye across Pakistan. These measures would uplift the underprivileged and help the country prosper.
PM Imran Khan said that; We have now initiated this facility in Peshawar, Lahore, and Faisalabad. After this network will be expanded in the whole country.
His remarks came as he addressed a ceremony marking the expansion of the ‘Ehsaas Koi Bhoka Na Soye’ program. That aimed at distributing free food to daily-wage earners, in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
It was said that a program like this, will bring the bounties of the Almighty to the country. It will also help the country prosper.
Imran Khan reiterated that it was the responsibility of the state to uplift the underprivileged and deserving segments of society. After that, the net of hospitals across the country would be expanded; with people being able to benefit from the facilities through health care.
Reminding us that It is their responsibility to provide us universal health coverage under a system across Pakistan. Fulfilling these responsibilities will also set the path for us to bring justice to the country and ensure the supremacy of law in it.
The food trucks inaugurated under the program will provide free food to 1,500 to 2,000 people every day through the designated points. This will also benefit the daily-wage earners and lower-class workers; who don’t yet have access to Ehsaas shelters and charities.
Ehsaas Koi Bhoka Na Soye program has inaugurated the service on March 10; for the daily-wage earners of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. So far, 37,827 people have been provided food, with the service now being extended to three more cities.
