Chairperson BISP Senator Rubina Khalid Conducts On-Site Assessment at Payment Centers in Kohat to Enhance Service Delivery and Engage with Beneficiaries
Chairperson Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), Senator Rubina Khalid, spearheaded a comprehensive field visit to BISP payment centers in Tehsil Gambat and Village Council Office Togh Bala, Kohat, to meticulously evaluate the efficacy of service delivery and directly interact with deserving women receiving financial assistance under the program.
During her visit, Senator Rubina Khalid engaged with women beneficiaries, listening to their concerns and reaffirming BISP’s steadfast commitment to their socio-economic empowerment. Emphasizing the importance of self-empowerment, she invoked the courageous legacy of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, urging the women to emulate her bravery and assert their rights unequivocally.
“These payments are your rightful entitlement,” she declared emphatically. “If anyone demands unauthorized deductions, report it forthwith. BISP will take stringent legal action against those involved in any form of malpractice.”
She further directed that only beneficiaries who receive a payment notification via 8171 should visit the campsites, stressing that repeated surveys are not feasible due to resource constraints. To enhance awareness, she instructed staff to prominently display informative banners at campsites, ensuring transparency and clarity.
At the Village Council Office Togh Bala, Senator Rubina Khalid directed the BISP staff to provide meticulous assistance and support to all deserving women, ensuring a seamless and dignified experience at the centers.
_Later, the Chairperson held meeting with Deputy Commissioner Kohat, Mr. Abdul Akram, in his office.
The meeting centered on augmenting arrangements at BISP campsites, ensuring exemplary services by partner banks, provision of shaded waiting areas, and access to clean drinking water for the women beneficiaries. The Deputy Commissioner pledged support and cooperation and presented a commemorative shield to the Chairperson BISP.
