Sir: Benazir income support programm is only fund which is being provided to the women who belong to poor families. It was really helpfull for the poor women and specially for the widows. But from last few months they are in hot water because of the changed policy as before it was in ATM service and now it has changed to biometric systems. It put the people in trouble as before they given the debit card to someone else to take their money without any cost. And now they are compiled to go other cities to take the money it cost them around 3000 to 4000 including the rent of the car. So a large amount spends and a small portion will remain due to these they are not interested because most of them are old and some are their they cannot walk without the support of stick recently i met with an old women she came with the support of two other women to take get the funds. Unfortunately the amount she received was only 900 rupees. As the shopkeeper said the amount are only (1000) one thousand hundreds rupees are the tax and remaining are these. At the same spot she said ” i have spend 3000 to come here only for 900 rupees ” so i don’t need Benazir’s support from today. And it requested to the concerned authorities to restore again that policy which could be better for the people to receive their money easily.
