What relief?

March 30, 2020

Recently, Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced a relief package for those families that are economically affected by the coronavirus. As per the package, the government will donate Rs3,000 per month to 70 lakh families of daily wages earners. It is not mentioned that if a family has more family members then what measures will the government take? For instance, the government if it donates Rs3,000 per month to the families of daily wagers that means Rs100 per day.

Individually, if a family has 10 family members then will the government donate every family member Rs10 per day? Is that relief? The government is advised to provide ration as well as monetary help to daily wagers.
