LAHORE: The process of distribution of financial aid to the impoverished under Chief Minister Punjab Insaf Imdad Programme has been started and a sum of around Rs1.50 bn has been transferred to 170,000 people, reported on Saturday.

Chief Minister Punjab Usman Buzdar in his statement said that the government provided real relief to the masses instead of making hollow claims.
