Last week, the KP government had announced to cover coronavirus treatments under Sehat Card. The decision was taken amid a rising number of UK-variant cases in the province.
Among other decisions, the cabinet also decided to announce a lucrative Ramadan Package for the poor people. Under the decision, Bangash said that the cabinet decided to provide a subsidy of Rs. 20.8 billion on wheat to ensure the provision of flour (Aata) to the people on government’s subsidized rates during Ramadan.
