On the other hand, government is also working on improvement in Ehsaas Cash programme.

Dr Sania said NADRA would provide easy solutions to Ehsaas Emergency Cash recipients within 24 hours to complete biometric identifications and death registrations.

In a tweet, she said they had waived off death registration fee of fifty rupees.

Meanwhile, she reviewed arrangements at newly opened NADRA Media offices in ICT.

Dr Sania Nishtar called the opening of offices of National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) vital for beneficiaries of Ehsaas Emergency Cash Programme who face biometric verification problems.

She appreciated NADRA for decreasing processing time for issuance of death certificates.

NADRA has decreased the time from seven days to just twenty four hours.

Dr Sania hailed it as a great service to the cash recipients.

However, people also drew her attention towards lack of transparency in the Ehsaas Emergency Cash programme. Someone said many eligible remains deprived of the amount but many ineligible have got cash under the programme.
