Official teams of the district administration have started reaching out to the deserving families across the city to deliver Ramazan Nigehban ATM cards on the directions of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif
MULTAN, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Feb, 2026) Official teams of the district administration have started reaching out to the deserving families across the city to deliver Ramazan Nigehban ATM cards on the directions of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif.
Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Nauman Siddique, who took a round of the city covering streets and mohallahs on Wednesday to monitor the process here Wednesday, said that underprivileged families in Multan have started receiving the financial assistance to help ease their daily household expenses during the sacred month of Ramazan. He added that more than 190,000 Nigahban Ration Cards had reached Multan, and their phased distribution is under way.
Teams of the district administration are delivering the cards directly to eligible beneficiaries at the neighbourhood and street level across the city to ensure transparency and accessibility.
Siddique visited several localities to review the distribution process and directed staff to maintain strict adherence to merit so that assistance reaches genuine beneficiaries without delay.
He added that the Punjab government has launched the programme as a Ramazan relief measure, under which Rs12,000 per family would be transferred directly into the accounts of eligible citizens. The step, he noted, is aimed at mitigating the impact of inflation and supporting vulnerable segments of society.
The deputy commissioner further said the district administration is utilising all available resources to make the initiative effective, with continuous monitoring to ensure that no deserving individual is left out. According to the administration, the scheme is progressing successfully in Multan, benefiting a large number of residents.
