A recent BISP Update from Gilgit Baltistan states that Chairperson Rubina Khalid visited the Benazir Income Support Program Tehsil office with her team and examined the situation and the current position of the beneficiaries. According to a recent Gilgit Baltistan report, BISP supports over 92,000 beneficiaries from the Benazir Kafalat Program so they have all the basic necessities to live a fulfilling life.
BISP Chairperson meets with Gilgit Baltistan CM
In her meeting with the Chief Minister of Gilgit Baltistan, Rubina Khalid discusses the importance of resolving many important issues immediately for the benefit of the beneficiaries so that they may easily receive their monthly stipend through the online platform as part of the 8171 Kafaalat Program.
وزیر اعلیٰ گلگت بلتستان کے ساتھ اپنی ملاقات میں روبینہ خالد نے مستحقین کے فائدے کے لیے بہت سے اہم مسائل کو فوری طور پر حل کرنے کی اہمیت پر تبادلہ خیال کیا تاکہ وہ 8171 کفالت پروگرام کے تحت آن لائن پلیٹ فارم کے ذریعے اپنا ماہانہ وظیفہ باآسانی حاصل کر سکیں۔ گلگت بلتستان میں بینظیر انکم سپورٹ پروگرام سے 92,000 سے زائد خاندان مستفید ہو رہے ہیں۔ اس لیے انتظامات سے باخبر رہنا اور کسی بھی تکنیکی مسائل کو فوری طور پر حل کرنا ان کی ترجیح ہونی چاہیے۔
More than 92,000 families benefit from the Benazir Income Support program in Gilgit Baltistan. Therefore, their priority should be to keep track of the arrangements and immediately resolve any technical issues.
Tribal Areas Face Internet Inaccessibility
In the meeting it was discussed that the majority of BISP Beneficiaries in Gilgit Baltistan are related to tribal areas where internet is the major problem for residents. Rubina Khalid suggested that the CM provide internet services in these areas so that the Beneficiaries could receive their payments accordingly without deductions and long travels.
The main purpose of providing payments through new banking systems is only to make the payment process more transparent and faster, according to Rubina Khalid.
The CM urged BISP to increase the PMT score for Baltistan
At a meeting in Gilgit Baltistan, Chief Minister Gilgit Baltistan Haji Gulbar Khan urged Rubina Khalid and the BISP team to increase PMT Score value for Baltistans so that more people can benefit from Bisp’s support.
The reason for this suggestion is that there is a very small private sector, and many people are unemployed, which makes it difficult for people to live their lives according to their necessities.
BISP Regional Offices Lack Staff
The shortage of BISP staff in Gigit Baltistan is also a major problem that beneficiaries face, preventing them from registering their names for new payments and preventing them from contacting the BISP team. Due to this, CM has urged BISP to look into the matter immediately and find a solution.
In addition, BISP has continued to provide its services in the province despite some of these problems and the community appreciates their hard work and effort.
In conclusion
With the Kafalat monthly installment program, the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is providing vital assistance to over 92,000 beneficiaries in Gilgit Baltistan, especially women. Inaccessibility of the internet in remote areas, a shortage of staff, and the requirement for a higher PMT score to expand eligibility highlight the need for continued improvement.
