PM to address ‘Corona Relief Tiger Force’ members today

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan will address the members of the Tiger Force today at 5 pm in Islamabad.

The news was confirmed by Special Assistant to PM on Youth Affairs Usman Dar that during the meeting the prime minister will decide to assign more responsibilities to the Corona Relief Tiger Force.

According to Usman Dar, the Corona Relief Tiger Force performed its duties very well during Ramzan. “It helped in ensuring social distancing at the mosques, utility stores, Ehsaas Centres, and other fields,” The SAPM added.

The force also helped in identifying the unemployed youth at the UC level for the provision of cash grants via the Ehsaas Programme.

The government had started a campaign to ensure compliance with the Standard Operating Procedures and safety precautions at markets and public places to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Special committees have been established in all provinces to ensure that SOPs are followed at large markets, industrial areas as well as by transport operators. Those violating the procedures will be penalised and public places such as markers could be sealed.

The prime minister, last week, chaired a high-level meeting that decided that provincial governments will play a proactive role to create awareness among people about the implementation of SOPs to protect them from the virus.
